Petitioning Requirements for the H-1B Nonimmigrant Classification Under Public Law 105-277

This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (Service) fee schedule and regulations with respect to filing requirements for Form I-129, Petition for H-1B Nonimmigrant Worker, for alien workers coming to perform services in a specialty occupation. Specifically, this rule amends the regulations to reflect an additional $500 billing fee, added by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), for H-1B petitions filed on or after December 1, 1998. This rule also describes the organizations that are exempt from the new fee requirements. Finally, this rule amends the regulations to reflect the new annual numerical limits on H-1B classification.
