More details about Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee and how it will be implemented have been released from the administration.
In September, the administration announced that it would be attaching a $100,000 fee to applications for the visa.
The new USCIS guideline said existing visa holders, which include international students on F-1 visas and professionals on L-1 visas, will not have to pay $100,000 when they apply for a change of status to H-1B. Existing H-1B visa holders are also exempted from this fee while renewing their H-1B status, the USCIS said.
