DHS Proposes $70,000 Fee for International Student Work Authorization
The Trump administration has put forward a controversial proposal to impose a $70,000 fee on international students seeking work authorization in the United States. This move has raised concerns among prospective international students, particularly from India, as it may significantly hinder their ability to pursue job opportunities in the U.S. Additionally, the proposal includes a $30,000 fee for subsequent work periods. If adopted, this new fee structure could change the landscape of international education and employment in the country.
