President Trump Imposes New $100,000 Fee on H-1B Visa Applications

Описание: On Friday, President Trump signed a proclamation titled 'RESTRICTION ON ENTRY OF CERTAIN NONIMMIGRANT WORKERS'. This new rule mandates that starting September 21st, any new H-1B visa petitions filed by companies on behalf of workers outside the US must include a $100,000 payment. This led to a state of panic among companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, who hurriedly advised their foreign workers to return to the US to avoid being locked out. Initially misunderstood to apply to current visa holders and renewals, it was later clarified by the White House that the fee is a one-time charge applicable only to new visas. Despite the reassurances, anxiety remains high among both foreign workers and their employers about potential broader restrictions in the future. #jobs #h1bvisa #jobmarket #work #employmentnews
