NEW H-1B APPLICANTS WILL BE CHARGED A ONE-TIME 100,000 FEE WHEN APPLYING #america #usa #h1bvisa

“Big changes are coming to U.S. immigration policy. The Trump administration just announced a massive $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications. This is one of the biggest shake-ups ever to America’s skilled worker visa program. Let’s break down what this means, who’s affected, and why it matters.” “The H-1B visa is the main pathway for foreign professionals — especially in tech, engineering, and healthcare — to work in the United States. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft rely heavily on H-1B talent. Now, under a new presidential proclamation, new H-1B applicants will be charged a one-time $100,000 fee when applying. That’s right — $100,000 just to enter the lottery system.” • Who Pays? The petitioning employer is expected to cover the fee, though details on timing and processing are still being worked out. • Who’s Exempt? The White House clarified the fee does not apply to: o Existing H-1B holders o Renewals or extensions o Workers already inside the U.S. on H-1B status • National Interest Exceptions The government says exceptions may be made for cases deemed in the “national interest,” but criteria are unclear. • When Does It Start? The fee takes effect immediately for new applications and will apply to the next H-1B lottery cycle. “At first, officials suggested the fee might be annual, which caused panic. The White House later clarified it’s a one-time fee — but the damage was done, and many foreign workers are still worried about travel, re-entry, and whether they’ll be mistakenly charged.” • Tech Industry: Companies warn this could make it nearly impossible to hire foreign skilled workers, forcing jobs overseas. • Legal Questions: Immigration lawyers are already debating whether the executive branch even has the authority to impose such a massive fee without Congress. Lawsuits may follow. • International Response: Countries like India, whose workers make up the majority of H-1B holders, have raised concerns. “This $100,000 fee is more than just a policy change — it’s a potential game-changer for America’s workforce and the global tech industry.
