Walmart pauses job offers for those needing H-1B visas; here’s who’s affected

Walmart Inc. has paused offers to candidates who need H-1B visas, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Walmart’s move comes after the Donald Trump administration, last month, introduced a $100,000 fee for new H-1B applications to overhaul the program and curb overuse.

The Trump administration’s move has reverberated across technology and other industries that employ thousands of such visa holders. Walmart is the largest user of H-1B visas among major retail chains.
