Anyone on H1B visa whose i140 was filed recently using premium processing? PwC law team mentioned an out of pocket fee of $2440 for filing and legal fee. Wanted to check if this can be waived off?

I have the same situation as you a half year ago. I decided to go with normal not paying the PP fee. It got approved really quickly in 2 months as I remembered.

Its actually illegal for you to bare the costs. They have to be covered by the employer. Look into it

EY1 is wrong is it absolutely legal from them to change you the PP fee on an i140

Your alternative is not to pay for pp

I had to pay the fees 2 years ago almost the same amount I guess..was not able to go around it at that point. That extra $1000 that they take is complete bs

They told the same thing to me earlier this week. $1000 legal fee is a lot...
