The fee increase affects Kenyan nationals who utilize premium processing to accelerate their immigration timeline. The impact is limited to the increased cost of the service itself.
The enhanced vetting policy will require Kenyan applicants to provide more exhaustive proof of their research impact. This will lead to a moderate increase in the overall processing timeline for EB-1B petitions.
The fee hike applies to all Kenyan nationals seeking the EB-1B classification. There are no country-specific backlogs for Kenya in this category, making the impact purely financial.
The filing fees for Form I-140, which is the foundation of the EB-1B process, are currently in flux for Kenyan applicants. This requires careful monitoring of USCIS fee schedules to ensure successful petition submission.
Kenyan professors and researchers will now follow the mandatory electronic payment protocol for EB-1B filings. This change is intended to modernize USCIS intake and reduce manual processing errors.
