Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee draws rare rebuke from US business
A coalition of business groups warned US President Donald Trump that a newly announced $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications risks harming the US economy and urged the administration to avoid changes to the skilled worker program that impose added burdens on companies.
In a letter sent Friday to Trump, roughly a dozen industry organisations representing chipmakers, software companies and retailers said the new fee threatens to crimp a crucial talent pipeline of foreign skilled workers and leave critical jobs unfilled.
