Are there any employment-based immigration fees?
Most programs administered by the DOL do not charge fees for applying to the State Workforce Agencies or the DOL regional offices for a foreign labor certification. Every program does, however, require fees be paid to the INS upon filing an application for a visa or greencard. See the individual programs (H-1C, H-2A) for details regarding DOL fees. See the INS fees site for details regarding INS fees.
