U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose a $100,000 application fee for H-1B worker visas in a major shift that could drastically impact the tech industry.
Reuters reported this was confirmed by a White House official.
The move, part of Trump’s broader immigration crackdown, would significantly impact companies relying on skilled workers from India and China.
A proclamation restricting entry under the H-1B programme is expected as early as Friday, unless the steep new fee is paid.
