it can cost more than that sometimes...and it depends on what has to be done. I know a person who had a degree in EE but was working on a IT job(hired directly by an American company)...the lawyers suggested to sent the transcripts to another expert who compared if the degree and the job performed would match or not...In the end the total cost for the whole H1 B filing process came out to be about $8000. Lawyers charge a lot of money for their consultation. However if you don't have to do anything extra like that, it shouldn't cost so much. Also keep in mind that it is illegal for the emplyer to take money from you to file your H1 visa. They can't take money from you nor can they reduce your salary for filing H1 B visa.

Wrong .. employer can ask for the money .. from employee and they can deduct .. from you paycheck Only $1500 has to be paid by Employer for Training fee .. All others Can be paid by Employee as well. My friend did and he got h1 last year .. His attorney was ok with that as it is per the H1b filing rule
