hello sir,
The Act, which was primarily aimed at appropriating $600 million for various purposes in connection with increasing border security on US’ Southwest border with Mexico, would raise funds for this purpose by increasing the filing fees paid by applicants for H-1B and L visas. These fees were raised by $2,500 for L visas and by $2,000 for H-1B visas for applicants that employ 50 or more employees in the US if more than 50 per cent of the applicant’s employees are H-1B or L visa non-immigrants.
