Trump extends push for US$100,000 H-1B visas by another year
The White House said the fee will stay in place for another year as legal challenges continue over the H-1B visa program.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation extending H-1B visa restrictions for another 12 months, maintaining a $100,000 payment requirement for certain workers entering the United States until September 21, 2027.
- Trump initially imposed the fee last September to curb what he described as visa program abuse reducing job opportunities for Americans, replacing baseline fees of $2,000 and $5,000.
- A Boston-based appeals court is reviewing a June ruling that declared the fee illegal, while another court is considering a challenge from the Chamber of Commerce, the largest US business lobbying group.
- Processing changes have forced companies to adjust hiring plans, with major users like Alphabet increasing operations in India; business groups argue the visas are essential for recruiting skilled professionals.
- Established by Congress in 1990, the program remains critical for tech companies recruiting from China and India, as the White House stated the conditions necessitating these restrictions persist.
