New H-1B visa fee impacts tech companies and high-skilled workers

President Trump has imposed a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, significantly impacting tech companies and high-skilled workers. This executive order affects new visa applications, prompting companies like Amazon and Microsoft to advise employees to return to the U.S. before the deadline. The H-1B program, used by over half a million residents, is intended for specialized workers but has faced criticism for alleged exploitation and replacing American workers.
