College Grads, Some Workers in US Spared New $100,000 H-1B Fee

College graduates on student visas and certain foreign workers already living in the US will not have to pay a $100,000 filing fee for H-1B visas, the Department of Homeland Security said in updated guidance outlining how the new rules will work.

The clarification, announced this week by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, applies to foreigners who hold US visas and are already in the country, including recent graduates and certain employees.
