Trump’s $100K H-1B Visa Fee Shocks Tech Industry

The Trump administration has unveiled a major policy shift that could reshape America’s immigration and technology landscape. A new rule introduces an unprecedented annual fee of $100,000 per H-1B visa holder, placing enormous pressure on companies that rely on skilled foreign workers.

Officials argue that the move will protect American jobs and reduce dependency on overseas talent. But tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are raising alarms, warning that the change will hurt innovation, increase costs, and make the United States less competitive in the global race for talent. Smaller startups may be hit even harder, as the financial burden could force them to abandon plans to hire foreign specialists altogether.

Immigration advocates also fear this policy will discourage highly skilled workers from seeking opportunities in the U.S., potentially pushing them toward countries like Canada, the U.K., and Australia. With lawsuits expected and heated political debates underway, the future of the H-1B visa program is now at the center of national attention.

This video breaks down what the new fee means, who it impacts the most, and how it could reshape the future of technology, jobs, and immigration in America.
