WASHINGTON: US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced an increase in fees for premium processing of several immigration benefits, including the H-1B visa, effective March 1.

USCIS said the premium processing fee has been increased to reflect the amount of inflation from June 2023 through June 2025.

The changes affect key employment-based and non-immigrant filings widely used by foreign professionals, including Indian nationals working or studying in the United States.
