The US on Tuesday notified massive increase in fees in certain categories of the popular H-1B and L-1 visas which would mainly hit Indian IT companies.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) said applicants for certain categories of H-1B visas post December 18, 2015 must submit an additional fee of US $4,000.

In addition, for those applying for certain L-1A and L-1B must submit an additional US $4,500.

Referring to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 signed into law by US President Barack Obama on December 18, 2015, USCIS said the additional fees apply to petitioners who employ 50 or more employees in the US, with more than 50 per cent of those employees in H-1B or L (including L-1A and L-1B) non immigrant status.
