India hits back at Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee as questions grow over who stands to lose most
India has raised concerns over the US government's new $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas, warning of family disruptions and economic impact. The sudden implementation of the policy, announced by President Trump, has drawn criticism from India’s Ministry of External Affairs and IT industry body NASSCOM. With Indian nationals comprising 71% of H-1B recipients, stakeholders are assessing the implications, while urging the US to provide clarity and consider the broader consequences of the move.
