This figure was parsed from Homeland Security's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests $18.8M for H-1B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Account, within Homeland Security's H-1B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Account account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $18.8M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.

The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

In the agency's own words

What this funds

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's (USCIS) H-1B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Account supports activities related to the processing of petitions for nonimmigrant workers in the H-1B visa classification. The H-1B visa program allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. USCIS receives five percent of the collections generated by these fees to fund USCIS's immigration benefit adjudication efforts, while the remaining 95 percent of ACWIA collections are deposited in accounts managed by the Department of Labor, which receives 55 percent and the National Science Foundation, which receives 40 percent.

What was actually awarded

Contracts funded by this line

4 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
