US President Donald Trump has increased H-1B visa fees to $ 1 lakh annually. This decision can have a big impact on Indian IT companies and professionals. The goal of the new policy is to prioritize American youth in employment and reduce dependence on foreign employees.

At the same time, the staff secretary of the White House, Will Sharf, described it as a step to stop the misuse in the H-1B system. According to him, this program should be only for those people who work rare and high-skilled in America, not for such work that American professionals can also do. The H-1B visa started in 1990, so that the US could hire high-educated and expert foreign professionals in areas where there is a shortage of American workforce. But critics say that over time companies started taking advantage of it wrongly.
Companies pay fees
President Trump has now decided that the company will have to pay around Rs 88 lakh for every application. This amount is very big, so now companies will apply only for those people whose skill is very important. The direct effect of this will be that small businesses and startups will not be able to spend so much money and will reduce the sponsoring foreign workers.
