Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a EB-1C (Multinational Manager) cost in 2026?
Total cost for a EB-1C (Multinational Manager) is approximately $6,680–$9,680 including government filing fees ($3,680) and attorney fees ($3,000–6,000). Fees vary by case complexity.
Who pays the government filing fees?
For employer-sponsored visas like H-1B, employers are legally required to pay USCIS filing fees. The H-1B statute prohibits employers from passing the basic filing fee to the employee. Attorney fees may be split or paid by the employer.
Is premium processing worth it?
Premium processing ($2,965) guarantees a USCIS action within 15 business days. It's worth it if you need certainty about your start date, are changing jobs, or face an urgent situation. Note: premium processing guarantees a decision (approval, denial, or RFE) — not necessarily an approval.
