Here’s what H1-B visa changes mean for Indian tourists in US
Last month, Donald Trump announced a fee of $100,000 for new H1-B visa applications. This meant that companies hiring working professionals from abroad had to pay this princely sum to facilitate their stay in the US.
The Trump administration’s decision has had a disproportionate impact on Indian professionals, as they constitute a majority of H1-B visa beneficiaries (around 70% in recent years). This puts them far ahead of the Chinese (12%), who are the second-most H1-B visa earners.
