The latest $100,000 fee recently applied by former United States President Donald Trump on new H-1B visas has already caught the eyebrows of the Indian information technologies sector. The current government of the United States has also implemented certain reforms into the H-1B visa program. The proposals have been made online in the Federal Register under the title "Reforming the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program."
Rules Amendment Proposals
The new measures will impose enhanced eligibility criteria for exemptions from the Visa cap, the DHS said. The DHS will also be stricter in monitoring employers as well as third-party contractors found to have breached visa program guidelines. The DHS announced the changes are aimed at safeguarding the working terms as well as wages for the US employee while upholding the integrity level of the H-1B visa program.
Possible Effects on Schooling and Research Hubs
There is also no visible transparency regarding the modality and timing by which the proposals will come into force. World news announces that tightening exemption requirements will be unfavorable to the research societies that are non-profit, colleges, and health institutions. The said institutions are already enjoying special exemptions under the program. The new limiters will also affect the thousands of Indians studying and working overseas for employment. The new guidelines will be made global by December 2025.
Effect on the $100,000 Visa Fee
The $100,000 H-1B visa fee introduced by the Trump administration has also been made operational. The presidential order supporting the approval of such a rule will remain effective for one year. If the US Congress sanctions legislation pertaining to this, the fee will gain permanent status.
The present annual compensation of Indian labour immigrating out from the U.S. on H-1B visas is between $60,000 to $140,000. Within this group, most corporations will have good reluctance to pay an additional $100,000 by visa for their labour. Industry and Specialist Viewpoint In spite of the enormous price, rating agency CRISIL has also been of the view that the effect on India's information technologists will not be very large. Nevertheless, successive alterations to the visa process are still causing confusion. The Department of Homeland Security is also considering alterations to the existing process depending on lotteries, but potentially moving one that pays tremendous importance to highly skilled foreign laborers and maximum importance to the citizens of America.
