President TRUMP has signed an executive order imposing a $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visa applications, effective September 21, 2025. The move aims to regulate the influx of skilled foreign workers, particularly in technology, engineering, and healthcare sectors. Tech firms, which heavily rely on foreign talent, may face significant challenges under the new policy.
Smaller companies could struggle with the financial burden, while immigration experts debate the legality of the fee. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed large corporations have been briefed on the changes. The decision may reshape the U.S. labor market for specialized professions.
