Trump’s H-1B visa double whammy: Why Indians could feel the heat
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a new fee of $103,265 for H-1B petitions subject to the annual cap, which could potentially double the cost when combined with an older $100,000 charge still under court appeal. This proposed fee would apply to Indian professionals, who make up the largest share of H-1B visa holders, potentially impacting both the professionals and the companies sponsoring their visas.
The fee is currently a proposal and has not yet been finalized, but if approved, it could significantly increase the cost for employers seeking to hire H-1B workers.
