Trump administration to impose a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, but now says it'll be a one-time charge
Companies will have to pay $100,000 a year for any employee it brings over to the US on the visa for up to six years.
The Secretary of Homeland Security will restrict approval for visa applications unless accompanied by the fee, though the rule "allows case-by-case exemptions if [it's] in the national interest." In the White House's announcement, the administration said that some employers have abused the H-1B visa to "artificially suppress wages," creating a disadvantageous market for Americans. Trump has also signed an order for a new visa program called the " Gold Card," which the administration says will prioritize "the admission of aliens who will affirmatively benefit the Nation, including successful entrepreneurs, investors, and businessmen and women."
