    Generally, the H-1B petitioner is required to pay the following filing fees for an H-1B petition:

    1. $320 for the base filing fee;
    2. $500 for the fraud prevention and detection fee;
    3. $750 for an additional fee if the petitioner employs a total of no more than 25 full-time equivalent employees in the U.S. ($1500 for an additional fee if the petitioner employs more than 25 employees)

    If premium processing is chosen, there is an additional $1,000 premium processing fee.

    In some circumstances, the above-mentioned fee #3 of $750 or $1,500 can be exempted, when:

    * The employer is an institution of higher education; or
    * The employer is a nonprofit organization or entity related to, or affiliated with an institution of higher education; or
    * The employer is a nonprofit research organization or governmental research organization that is primarily engaged in basic research and/or applied research; or
    * The employer is a primary or secondary education institute; or
    * The employer is a nonprofit entity which engages in an established curriculum-related clinical training or has students register at the institution; or
    * The petition is the second or subsequent request for an extension of stay filed by the same employer.

    There are no exemptions for the above-mentioned first two fees of $320 and $500.
