H1-B visa fees to be hiked. Who will be affected?

Synopsis
The Trump administration is proposing a $103,265 fee for H-1B petitions for workers hired within the US, adding a major cost for employers seeking skilled foreign professionals, according to Bloomberg Tax. The proposal follows a court ruling that overturned Trump’s earlier $100,000 H-1B fee for workers hired from outside the US.
ReutersThe Trump administration is proposing to add a new $100,000 fee for H-1B workers hired within the United States, a ‘massive new cost’ for the primary option to employ skilled foreign professionals, reported Bloomberg Tax.
US Department of Homeland Security’s proposal comes after a court overturned Trump’s $100,000 charge for H-1B visa holders hired from outside the country.
That fee, issued through a White House proclamation, disrupted hiring plans for many employers but didn’t apply to students and others approved for H-1B status in the US.
