Indian Workers Face H-1B Crisis as Trump Unveils $100,000 Visa Fee

The Trump administration's proposal to introduce a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas poses a significant challenge for Indian workers. The H-1B program, which allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, has been a crucial pathway for many Indian professionals to work in the United States. The high visa fee could make it significantly more expensive for companies to hire these workers, potentially limiting job opportunities for Indian nationals. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to curb immigration and prioritize American jobs. While the administration argues that the fee would help fund programs to train American workers, critics claim it may further exacerbate the shortage of skilled labor in the US. The potential impact on the global workforce is also a concern, as skilled workers from other countries may face similar challenges in securing employment in the US. The issue highlights the ongoing tensions around immigration policies and their implications for the international job market.
