BREAKING VISA NEWS – H-1B FEES SHOCKER!🤔
U.S. President Donald Trump just signed a proclamation that could impose a $100,000 annual fee on every H-1B visa application.
The H-1B program is a lifeline for U.S. tech companies. It brings in highly skilled workers, mostly from India and China to fill key roles in engineering, computing, education, and healthcare.
In the first half of 2025 alone, Amazon had over 10,000 H-1B approvals, while Microsoft and Meta had more than 5,000 each. Under this plan, companies would need to pay $100,000 every year for each H-1B worker. Supporters say it will push firms to train and hire more Americans.
Critics warn it could cripple innovation, drive away global talent, and crush smaller startups. Immigration experts are already questioning whether a president even has the legal power to enforce such a massive fee.
Right now, applicants only pay a small lottery fee plus a few thousand dollars in processing costs.
This could mean, Startups could struggle to compete. Highly skilled workers might choose other countries instead of the U.S.
This move follows other immigration tightening efforts, like visa bonds and travel bans that could change how people work, travel, and relocate to America. Will this $100,000 H-1B fee protect American jobs, or hurt U.S. innovation? Share your opinion in the comments!
