H-1B ticket to US now costs Rs 88 lacs extra – All you need to know
Announcing a sweeping overhaul of the H-1B visa system that, effectively, targets skilled Indians more than any other group, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Friday that will raise the fee for these visas to $100,000 (Rs 88 lakh) annually—making it prohibitively expensive for companies to hire Indian professionals in the US.
Currently, the H-1B visa fee ranges from about $2,000-$5,000 depending on employer size and other costs. The visas are valid for three years and can be renewed for another three years. Companies pay to sponsor H-1B applicants.
