H-1B visa laid off foreign workers could benefit from $100K petition fee

US introduced a new rule for H-1B visa seekers who are hired by US companies. All new H-1B petitions filed by US employers, after September 21, will have to be accompanied by $100,000 fee.

This is a huge setback for foreign workers as the substantial H-1B visa fee of $100,000 will deter many US employers from hiring them.
