The Trump administration proposes a $103,265 fee on H-1B visa applicants hired within the United States, expanding a previously blocked $100,000 charge that applied only to foreign workers. The fee would be imposed on each H-1B petition, significantly increasing the cost of hiring skilled foreign professionals domestically.
