- The Trump administration is overhauling the H-1B visa program for skilled foreign workers, including implementing a $100,000 fee for applications outside the US and higher prevailing wage standards.
- Specialty physicians and Big Tech workers receive the highest H-1B wages, with some physician occupations earning over $300,000 and top tech firms like Roku paying a median of $376,579.
