The policy change raises the cost of expedited service for Colombian nationals. As EB-1 is current for Colombia, the impact is limited to the increased expense of the optional premium service.
While not a high-backlog country, Colombian researchers will still be impacted by the universal increase in background check depth. This will likely extend the time required for final visa issuance.
Colombian nationals pursuing the EB-1B visa will be subject to the new FY 2026 fee schedule. This is a standard adjustment that does not affect visa availability or processing priority.
The court's decision on the fee rule stay directly affects the filing process for Colombian nationals. Ensuring the correct fee is paid is essential for the timely processing of their outstanding professor or researcher petitions.
Colombian nationals filing for EB-1B status will benefit from the increased speed and reliability of electronic payment receipting. This update standardizes the process across all USCIS service centers.
