Trump Administration Introduces $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visa Applications

In a significant immigration policy move, the Trump administration is set to impose a new fee of $100,000 for H-1B visa applications. This announcement, confirmed by a White House official, is part of a broader crackdown aimed at reforming the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The initiative has raised concerns among tech companies, as many rely on H-1B visas to fill critical positions. Critics argue that this steep fee could hinder access to skilled labor and impact technological innovation in the country.
