The Trump administration proposed a $103,265 fee for employers seeking H-1B visas to fund the U.S. immigration system, including federal immigration courts and ICE, following a judge's ruling that struck down a prior attempt to impose a similar fee; critics warn the move could harm industries that rely on foreign workers.
The United States has reached the annual cap for H-1B visas, which allow US businesses to employ foreign workers in specialized occupations. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirmed that it has received enough petitions to meet both the regular cap of 65,000 and the advanced degree exemption of 20,000. Those who were not selected will receive non-selection notices, rendering them ineligible to file an H-1B cap petition. However, the USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions exempt from the cap, including those for current H-1B workers.
