Big news on immigration and visas, President Donald Trump is set to introduce a $100,000 fee for H-1B skilled worker visa applicants. The executive order will cite “abuse” of the programme and make entry dependent on the hefty payment.
Currently, H-1B visa fees are only a few hundred dollars, but companies already spend thousands per worker. Critics argue H-1Bs hurt American jobs, while supporters like Elon Musk say they bring in top global talent.
Tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are among the biggest users of the programme. With applications already at a four-year low, do you think this new visa fee will scare off skilled workers—or just the companies hiring them?
