The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle and the University of Washington’s medical institutions have put on hold sponsoring new H1-B visa applications. This is due to the $100,000 fees imposed on them by US President Donald Trump, The Seattle Times reported.
Trump announced on September 19 that new H1-B visas would come with a fee of $100,000. This applies only to new visa applications and not renewals. H1-B visas obtained before September 21 will also not come with this fee.
