Costs may include a new government filing or border-related fee, legal assistance preparing the new employer's evidence file, and any credential re-verification needed for the new role. Confirm current official fees directly, since amounts change and depend on the specific authorization path used.
Budget for a full new evidence cycle
Ask whether legal assistance for the change is priced as a full new case or a reduced scope, since much of the substantive work, duty review and credential comparison, needs to happen again regardless of prior approvals. If the applicant needs to travel to present at a border for a new admission, factor in that travel cost. Confirm with the new employer whether they will cover any of the preparation costs.
