The H-1B shakeup: New, proposed rules target degrees, fees, and Indian IT

The US government is proposing a rule change that would significantly increase costs for companies hiring foreign tech workers on H-1B and L-1 visas. This proposal by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would require employers to pay an additional fee when extending the visas of these workers, on top of the fees already paid for initial applications.
