Starting today, October 21, 2025, a new $100,000 fee has been implemented for certain H-1B visa petitions, following a proclamation by President Trump. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released guidance detailing who is required to pay this hefty additional fee and who may be exempt.
The policy targets particular categories of foreign workers applying under the H-1B visa program, a visa route frequently used by technology companies and skilled professionals to work in the U.S. The exact criteria determining exemptions or payment obligations have been outlined by USCIS to assist employers and applicants in navigating the new requirements.
