The Trump administration is considering new fees for H-1B and L-1 visa renewals in the United States. At present, the extra fee applies only to new visa applications and certain job changes. If approved, large employers would also pay the fee when renewing visas for existing workers. The proposal is expected to increase costs for companies that employ many foreign workers, especially in the technology sector. Indian professionals may be affected the most, as they account for most H-1B visa renewals. The US government said the proposal would help fund its biometric entry and exit system.
