The U.S. State Department has introduced a new $750 expedited interview fee for eligible B-1 and B-2 visa applicants at participating embassies and consulates. The optional payment can provide access to an earlier interview appointment, potentially within 10 business days, but it does not guarantee visa approval.
DHS has proposed a new $103,265 fee for cap-subject H-1B petitions after a federal court struck down the earlier $100,000 charge. The new proposal is not yet effective and must go through a public-comment and final-rule process before employers would be required to pay it.

Her detention came months after an immigration judge had terminated the government's earlier removal case, drawing renewed attention to the protections and risks facing lawful permanent residents.
ICE is considering a plan to help cover liability insurance for state and local officers involved in federal immigration enforcement. The proposal comes as more police agencies participate in the 287(g) program and face concerns over lawsuits, legal expenses, and potential financial exposure.
A new legal challenge is taking aim at Virginia’s policy that allows undocumented students to receive in-state college tuition benefits. The case could reignite the national debate over immigration-related education benefits and state funding policies.
