What this amendment would do

SA 5449, submitted by Ms. Murkowski, aims to change the fee requirements for certain nonimmigrant workers.

The purpose of this amendment is to add an exception to the non-processing related fee for H-1B nonimmigrants. Specifically, it ensures that petitions for those in a specialty occupation who will work for a public school or a public school district in the United States are not required to pay the $100,000 fee otherwise required under section 1(a) of Presidential Proclamation 10973.
