The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed amendments to clarify regulations regarding the 9-11 Response & Biometric Entry-Exit Fee for H-1B and L-1 Visas. The proposed changes aim to interpret statutory language more clearly, requiring covered employers to submit the 9-11 Biometric Fee for all extension-of-stay petitions, including those without a change of employer. This fee will continue to apply unchanged to petitions for initial status grants. These adjustments are intended to ensure compliance with congressional directives for implementing a biometric entry-exit data system while providing clearer guidelines for fee requirements under the visa programs. You can access the more detailed information from the 24060501a.pdf (aila.org) link.
