Return to US immediately or risk getting stranded: Immigration attorneys, companies tell H-1B workers
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: Immigration attorneys and companies are cautioning H-1B visa holders against travelling outside the US amid President Donald Trump’s new plan to impose a USD 100,000 fee on the work visas, with many asking employees to return immediately to America or risk getting stranded.
In a significant development that will have an impact on Indian professionals working on H-1B visas in the US, Trump signed a proclamation on Friday that restricts the entry into the United States of nonimmigrants working in a “speciality occupation” unless their H-1B petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of USD 100,000.
