President Trump's latest effort to overhaul America's legal immigration system raises the annual fee on H-1B visa applicants from $215 to $100,000, a move that could deal a major blow to US industries reliant on foreign workers, particularly in technology and healthcare sectors. The increase is part of a broader overhaul aimed at reducing migration. Some companies say the hike will push up salaries for skilled workers but may also lead to fewer applications for H-1B visas.
