In response to the Trump administration's new $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas, major U.S. employers Amazon, Microsoft, and JPMorgan have urgently advised their H-1B and H-4 visa holders to remain in the country. Amazon instructed employees to return to the U.S. by September 21, 12 a.m. Eastern Time, while Microsoft and JPMorgan recommended staying in the U.S. and avoiding international travel until further guidance is issued. The policy shift, effective September 21, 2025, is expected to significantly impact Indian tech professionals, who account for 72% of H-1B visa holders.
