H-1B visa fee hike unlikely to dent IT companies’ margins significantly: Equirus
The US government’s order, which restricts entry for H-1B visa petitioners unless they pay a one-time fee of $100,000, is unlikely to significantly impact large- and mid-cap IT services firms in India, a report said on Monday.
The restrictions can be addressed through increased local hiring, subcontracting, or offshoring, a report from fund management firm Equirus said.
The restriction, unless extended, will remain effective for 12 months from September 21, 2025, unless renewed and applies solely to new visa applicants.
