Trump imposes $100K H-1B visa fee from Sept 21; could impact Indian tech workers
US President Donald Trump announced that companies will have to pay the government $100,000 in order to secure an H-1B visa for a foreign employee.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, the US commerce secretary said that the move would ensure US companies hire more American talent while sending less valuable foreign workers back to their home countries. Given that Indians account for over 70% of H-1B visa holders, these restrictions could prove especially damaging to the Indian diaspora in America.
