U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a staggering $100,000 (about Rs 88 lakh) fee for new H-1B visas has rattled the global professional community. Although the White House clarified that this fee applies only to fresh H-1B applications, the shock was immediate.
Technology companies that rely on foreign engineers, universities employing international researchers, and thousands of skilled workers eyeing the U.S. job market are all anxious. The H-1B program has long been the primary gateway for highly skilled foreign talent to work in America, and such a sudden cost surge threatens to price out smaller firms and ambitious individuals alike.
