The Trump administration is proposing a $103,265 fee on employers filing cap-subject H-1B petitions, expanding the financial burden beyond foreign workers hired from outside the United States to people already in the country on student and other temporary visas.
The fee, proposed by the Department of Homeland Security, would apply to all H-1B petitions subject to the annual statutory cap. This includes petitions for foreign students in the US who are selected in the H-1B lottery and seek to move from student status to work status after graduation.
