USCIS has detailed its $100,000 visa fee, requiring payment via a new portal for applicants to proceed. Notably, existing visa holders like F-1 students and L-1 professionals are exempt from this surcharge when changing status to H-1B. Exceptions are extremely rare, requiring Homeland Security's discretion for national interest cases.
