Title : The $100,000 SHOCK Hits US IMMIGRANT TECH Workers for Visa H-1B ! and Global Reaction.
- Recently, President Donald Trump caused a global uproar when he announced the new fee for H-1B visa applications, increasing it from $215 to the incredible figure of : $100,000 !
- This new fee is approximately 60 times the current cost, in his latest effort to overhaul America's legal immigration system.
- This move could potentially lead to a worker shortage in technology and professional sectors.
- This decision deals a major blow to US industries that rely on skilled foreign labor, primarily the technology and finance sectors. Amazon is the largest H-1B sponsor, along with Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple being key beneficiaries.
- The international reaction was sharp, especially from India, which accounted for 71% of approved H-1B visas in 2024. India’s Ministry of External Affairs warned of "humanitarian consequences". India’s commerce minister, Piyush Goyal, claimed: "They are also a little afraid of our talent".
- Initially, the ruling caused "absolute panic", forcing employees, particularly from India and China, to rush back, as major companies (like Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and Microsoft) advised H-1B holders to remain in the US until further guidance. Moreover, this policy is highly likely to be challenged in US courts, with experts arguing the President "has literally zero legal authority" to impose such a fee.
- The future of high-skilled talent in the US faces a high degree of uncertainty. Will this $100,000 shock force companies to shift recruiting efforts abroad to countries like India, China, and Canada ?
