The executive order's emphasis on border security and interdicting criminal actors places additional scrutiny on all immigration from neighboring countries. Mexican EB-1B applicants may encounter more thorough vetting of their criminal history records at U.S. consulates as DHS implements the policy of maximizing criminal record access.
The policy change increases the cost of the premium processing service for Mexican applicants. As EB-1 remains current for Mexico, the impact is strictly financial for those choosing to expedite their petition.
Mexican nationals in the EB-1B category will face increased scrutiny of their research credentials. While not facing a backlog, the additional vetting steps will likely extend the standard processing window.
Mexican researchers are generally not subject to EB-1 backlogs. The fee increase will affect the total cost of the green card process but will not alter the timeline for visa issuance.
The stay on the 2024 Fee Rule affects the financial planning for Mexican researchers and their U.S. employers. Accurate fee payment is critical to maintaining the priority date and avoiding the return of the I-140 petition.
