H-1B visa to get expensive; Trump mulling $100K fee in latest immigration move
President Donald Trump is planning to introduce a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing a White House official familiar with the matter. The agency added that the hike is a part of the administration’s effort to curb overuse. The president is expected to sign a proclamation on Friday.
According to the Bloomberg source, the Trump administration said that the proclamation will stop the abuse of the H-1B pathway. It restricts entry under the H-1B program unless accompanied by the $100,000 payment.
