The Trump administration has introduced a sweeping change to the H-1B visa system by imposing a $100,000 annual fee for each visa application, effective from September 21, 2025. The policy aims to reduce dependence on foreign skilled labor, especially by tech companies, and to encourage hiring of American workers. The move is expected to disproportionately affect Indian tech professionals, who constitute a large share of H-1B visa holders. Critics warn this could deter global talent, increase costs for companies, and hamper innovation in tech sectors. (PC: Bloomberg)
