President Donald Trump has introduced a $100,000 annual fee for H-1B visa applications, effective September 21, 2025, marking a major change in U.S. immigration policy. The move aims to reduce reliance on foreign labor, prioritizing American workers, especially in tech and high-skilled sectors. Experts warn this could increase costs for companies, potentially discouraging hiring of skilled foreign professionals. Alongside, Trump has unveiled new visa categories, including Gold and Platinum Cards, targeting wealthy individuals and investors. The policy is expected to reshape the H-1B program and affect Indian tech workers significantly.
