Hi, what’s the premium processing cost for I-140? I have more than 2 years left on my H1 so PwC is not filing for my premium processing but said I could pay for it out of pocket. Everywhere online I see the cost of premium processing as 2500$ however PwC asked me to pay for 3500$. Could this include any additional charge? Does anybody have any insights? Thanks

I just paid for mine with EY and it was $2500 and an additional $106+ admin charges or something like that. They should breakdown what the extra $1K is. Ask them.

Just heard back from PwC law team they said 2500$ premium filing fee and 1000$ legal fees 🤨

That’s so stupid, probably takes them the same or less time than doing the normal process… thanks for the update tho

Yeah that’s the lawyer fee included

$1000 is a lot for a PP upgrade. Our firm charges us $500.

Hi all!
My mother in law got scammed by a con artist from the UK online and lost $7K (damn you Facebook!)

Her status in the US is currently complicated and she doesn’t have a green card(tho she’s working on it), my wife(her daughter) is American.

I want to report this to the FBI’s elder fraud department but I don’t want to complicate her situation even more.

Does anyone know if criminal stuff like this and immigration related things are separated?

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?

This means my GC is approved right?! Sounds like I’ll receive approval notice soon, but when does the actual GC come through? Also, any guidance on when might my parents be able to travel here? (they are in UK and subject to travel ban, exempt for citizens and GC holders).
