To contextualize better the situation, I work in a San Francisco startup of 5 employees, which is in the process of getting a series A funding round, and had a previous seed round of around 3 million $.
As a foreigner under an F-1 visa, after one year of working you need to renew your work permission (a procedure called OPT STEM Extension) and the USCIS charges approximately 400$ for just processing the application.
Is there any general tendency, in companies similar to the profile described above, on which part does assume this cost?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions asking for advice on a specific choice, such as what job to take or what skills to learn, are difficult to answer objectively and are rarely useful for anyone else. Instead of asking which decision to make, try asking how to make the decision, or for more specific details about one element of the decision.

Have you asked your boss how this should be handled on your company?

The whole purpose of the question is to have an idea of the general norm in similar companies to decide asking him or not for a reimbursement

There generally isn't much risk in asking your company about whether or not they'll reimburse some expense required for you to do or continue doing your job. If they're not willing to, the worst that will happen is they'll say no.

@DarkCygnus I guess if you don't want indirect questions, don't give indirect answers. Thanks for the feedback anyway

@ArnoldFrenzy no problem, I see you accepted an answer so it seems you sorted this out :) Although I see you only got one, perhaps because of what I mentioned in the previous comment. Good luck

This is company specific. Some don’t have a specific policy either. Your best bet is to review your work manual/guide/handbook and ask your manager.
