Former President Trump is reportedly considering implementing a new $100,000 fee for workers entering the U.S. on H-1B visas. The proposal aims to target companies utilizing the visa program, potentially impacting industries reliant on skilled foreign labor. The H-1B visa program is legally capped at 85,000 visas annually. Of these, 20,000 are specifically reserved for individuals holding advanced qualifications or high-skill degrees. This potential fee increase could significantly raise the cost of employing foreign workers, potentially altering hiring practices. Details surrounding the plan are still emerging, and its implementation remains uncertain. The move aligns with Trump’s previous immigration policy stances focused on prioritizing American workers.
