Doctors in the US are likely to be exempted from the new $100,000 H-1B visa fee, a report citing the White House said. The fee, announced by former President Donald Trump, applies only to new petitions and not current visa holders. USCIS clarified that petitions filed before September 21 are not affected. Many Indians on H-1B visas were worried, canceling travel plans and rushing back to the US. H-1B visas allow US companies to hire foreign workers in specialty jobs, especially in tech. The visa lasts three years and can be renewed for another three. (PC: X)
