$100,000 fee for companies hiring H-1Bs: What does this mean? What is the present cost?
In a major overhaul of the H-1B program, US President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to add $100,000 application fee for the program. This will be a steep jump costing companies a bomb if they want to hire foreign talent under the H-1B visa program.
The current fee is around $1,000 for an initial application. It is not yet known whether $100,000 is for every applicant or for certain types of petitions.
