Donald Trump Announces Major Change to H-1B Visa Rules
In Brief
Donald Trump's major shock to H-1B visa holders
H-1B visa application fees increased up to one hundred thousand dollars
This decision is likely to have a major impact on Indian workers in America
(H-1B Visa) Due to the new decision taken by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, there have been significant changes in the rules of the H-1B visa, which has come as a big shock to H-1B visa holders. This decision could have a major impact on Indian workers working in the United States.
The H-1B visa is considered the most important route for foreign skilled workers to get jobs in the United States. Based on this visa, a large number of Indian citizens go to the United States and gain employment. However, according to the new rules, applicants will now have to pay a fee of $100,000, which is approximately 8.8 million rupees.
Notably, this fee will be affordable for large corporate companies, but it will pose a significant challenge for small and medium enterprises. As a result, it is anticipated that such companies will prioritize local American citizens over hiring foreign workers.
The government claims that due to widespread misuse of this visa, strict conditions had to be imposed. Senior officials at the White House have stated that these changes will boost local employment. The H-1B visa is considered extremely important for Indian professionals and the IT sector. Therefore, this decision will create significant obstacles for those dreaming of working in the United States.
