President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which raises the fee for companies sponsoring H-1B applicants to $100,000, has prompted a response from the US Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has stated its concerns and is working with the administration to understand the implications. The Chamber’s statement focused on the impact on employees, their families, and employers. The fee, which begins on September 21, is only for new applicants. The White House clarified that it is a one-time fee, not an annual charge. The Ministry of External Affairs is studying the full implications. The US Chamber of Commerce is actively reviewing the effects of Trump’s H-1B visa fee hike.
