U.S H-1B visa overhaul: Trump hikes USD 100,000 Fee on H-1B Visas; how this affects Indians
Donald Trump's proclamation introduces a hefty USD100,000 fee for H-1B visa petitions starting September 21, 2025. The policy, lasting a year, aims to curb the replacement of American workers with foreign labor. Exceptions exist for national interest cases. The move is expected to heavily impact Indian professionals, who make up a significant portion of H-1B recipients.
