- proberts 3y agoThere is some range depending on the size of the U.S. workforce and whether the petition is filed with premium processing. A rough range for a company with less than 25 FTEs would be $4,000 to $5,500. For a company with at least 25 FTEs, add $750 and if the petition is filed with premium processing, add $2,500.

- neodypsis 3y agoWhat is premium processing?
- matchbox 3y agoTo get the visa application processed in two weeks, else it will take up to 4 months or so.
- proberts 3y agoAll correct! But with an H-1B to H-1B transfer, the filing alone allows the sponsored employee to work so sometimes there's no need for premium processing.
