Ackermann’s appeal comes after the Trump administration’s decision to increase the H-1B visa fees last week from the previous 215 USD to USD to USD to 100,000 USD.
Trump’s H-1B visa hike
The Trump administration has recently announced that there is a significant increase in the H-1B visa application fee and it has been increased to US $ 100,000.
USA GIVES THE DESCRIPTION
However, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that this wage increase is valid for the new H-1B visa petitions opened only after September 21 and did not affect the petitions submitted before that date.
In an official note published on Saturday, USCIS Director Joseph B Edlow announced that the new fee has been implemented in prospectively and has already not affected people who have already approved their petitions or valid H-1B visas.

Considering that Indian professionals constitute approximately 71-72% of H-1B visa buyers, wage increase caused concerns about the potential effects of Indian technology employees and the wider technology sector. The movement aims to ensure that H-1B visas are given to high-skilled employees that cannot be easily changed by US employees.
