The H-1B visa has long been an important way for Indian technology employees in the United States. Since the Indians received approximately 71-72% of these visas, the new 100,000 USD wage increase was concerned about their impact.

With the current application and legal costs, heavy wages can make the H-1B visa program sensitively expensive for both employees and employers.

The White House justified the increase in US $ 100,000 H-1B visa fee, referring to the potential losses losses between American workers.

Effect on the H-1B program

The H-1B visa program provides 85,000 visa each year, including 20,000 specially reserved for individuals with advanced US degrees.
