U.S. President Donald Trump has extended a controversial executive order by one year, imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B non-immigrant visas, according to a White House announcement on Friday. These visas enable skilled foreign workers to work in the United States for several years, primarily within the tech industry and other sectors.
The executive order, originally introduced by Trump in September 2025, has been a subject of criticism and legal challenges due to its significant fee hike, which the administration aims to make permanent. However, a recent court ruling has blocked the government from collecting this fee, raising further questions about its future.
Trump has been a strong advocate for stricter immigration policies, and this move is part of his ongoing efforts to tighten immigration controls. The ongoing legal battles surrounding the fee hike highlight the complex and divisive nature of immigration reform in the United States.
