Tweaks to H-1B policy will widen skill gap in US, predict experts
Hyderabad: As the United States moves to raise H-1B visa application costs by a staggering $100,000 (Rs 88.2 lakh), concerns are mounting that the policy could cripple the flow of skilled migrants and deepen America’s talent crunch. The proposed hike marks a dramatic leap from the current fee, and analysts fear it may significantly shrink the pipeline of global talent into the country.
This comes at a time when American industries, from technology to manufacturing to healthcare, are struggling with widening labour shortages, and the latest data only confirms that.
