Trump to Add New $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas in Latest Crackdown

The Trump administration has introduced a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications as part of its ongoing efforts to reform the program. The proclamation aims to address concerns over the perceived overuse of the H-1B visa system, which allows U.S. companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The increased fee is intended to discourage employers from using the program and potentially drive them to hire more American workers instead. This move is the latest in a series of steps taken by the Trump administration to tighten restrictions on the H-1B visa program, which has been a target of criticism from the President and his supporters who argue that it disadvantages American workers. The implementation of the new fee is expected to have a significant impact on companies that rely on H-1B visas to fill skilled positions, as well as the foreign workers seeking employment in the United States.
