The Indian government expressed concern Saturday about President Donald Trump's latest push to upend American immigration policy, dramatically raising the fee for visas that bring tech workers from India and other countries to the United States.
The president on Friday signed a proclamation that will require a $100,000 annual fee for H-1B visas — meant for high-skilled jobs that tech companies find hard to fill. He also rolled out a $1 million “gold card” visa for wealthy individuals, moves that face near-certain legal challenges amid widespread criticism he is sidestepping Congress.
