The order's focus on 'criminal actors' and reciprocal sharing creates a high barrier for Venezuelan applicants. The lack of a 'trusted' government partner in Venezuela to verify CHRI means that EB-1C applicants may be subject to indefinite administrative holds during the vetting phase.
The fee increase applies to Venezuelan multinational managers seeking to expedite their petitions. This change is financial in nature and does not affect the current availability of EB-1 visas for Venezuela.
Section 3(d) maintains the suspension of entry for Venezuelan nationals as immigrants. This prevents executives and managers from Venezuelan entities from obtaining or using EB-1C immigrant visas to enter the United States, regardless of the merits of their corporate petition.
Due to the complex nature of verifying corporate entities in Venezuela, the new vetting policy will likely lead to extensive RFEs. Applicants must provide clear, verifiable evidence of the multinational relationship to avoid denials.
The fee increase applies to all I-140 filings for FY 2026. For Venezuelan executives already in the U.S. on valid non-immigrant status, this represents a marginal increase in the cost of adjusting status.
