Speaker. today I introduced a bill to amend the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act. The legislation would simply extend the filing fee exemption fee to all elementary and secondary schools. The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act increased the number of H1B visas available over a series of years. This legislation also called for a $500 fee to be paid by the employer to file their H1B visa application. However. this act also contained a provision that exempted institutes of higher education. nonprofit research groups. and governmental research institutes from paying the filing fee. The exemption was afforded to these groups to help offset the cost of trying to employ talented workers from abroad.
