Trump's $100K Fee on H-1B Visas Could Deal Devastating Blow to US Industries
President Donald Trump's plan to raise the annual fee for H-1B visas from $215 to $100,000 could significantly impact US industries reliant on foreign workers, potentially leading to increased recruitment costs and reduced labor supply.
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.
