New Fee for H-1B Visa Holders Announced by Trump
September 21, 2025 - 02:45
In a significant move, former President Trump announced an executive order on Friday imposing a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa holders. This decision is set to reshape the landscape for foreign workers seeking employment in the United States. The new rules will specifically impact new applicants for the H-1B visa, a program that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
The executive order aims to tighten regulations surrounding the H-1B visa process, which has been a point of contention in recent years. By introducing this substantial fee, the administration seeks to deter potential applicants and prioritize American workers in the job market.
While the changes will not affect current visa holders, they signal a broader shift in immigration policy that could have long-term implications for the tech industry and other sectors reliant on skilled foreign labor. As the debate continues, many are left wondering how these changes will influence the future of work in the U.S.
