Answer

No, employer cannot make you pay certain H-1B fees:

  • Employer must pay: ACWIA fee, fraud prevention fee, public law fee
  • You can pay: Premium processing (optional), visa stamping fees, travel costs
  • Illegal: Employer requiring you to reimburse mandatory fees

What to do: Review fee structure, know your rights, report violations to DOL if employer demands reimbursement of mandatory fees.
