Principal Financial H-1B Sponsorship Cost: Who Pays the Fees?
Principal Financial pays all mandatory H-1B sponsorship costs, as DOL regulations require. A cap-subject petition costs the employer roughly $5,000–$11,500 all-in: the $215 electronic registration, $780 I-129 filing fee, $500 fraud prevention fee, $4,000 ACWIA training fee (employers with 26+ employees), plus outside immigration attorney fees that typically run $2,000–$5,000 per case. Premium processing adds $2,805 when a predictable start date matters.
Candidates never pay for their own H-1B petition — shifting those costs to the employee violates DOL wage requirements. Employee-side costs are limited to H4 dependent filings (~$460 each) and optional personal immigration counsel for independent case review.
