Trump adds $100K annual fee for H-1B visa applications

WASHINGTON, United States — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation that will require a $100,000 annual visa fee for highly skilled foreign workers. This new fee marks a significant increase aimed at shifting the landscape for foreign professionals seeking employment in the United States.

In addition to the increased visa fee, the administration introduced a $1 million “gold card” visa. This new visa serves as a pathway to U.S. citizenship specifically for wealthy individuals willing to make a substantial investment in the country.

However, these moves have sparked widespread criticism and are expected to face near-certain legal challenges. Many argue that the administration is sidestepping established processes, raising concerns about the legality and fairness of the new policies.
