The proposed $100,000 H-1B visa application fee by the U.S. administration has become one of the most talked-about policy changes this year. For decades, Indian professionals have formed the backbone of America’s tech workforce , but this move could change that dynamic significantly.
Impact on Indian Students
According to reports, the new rule spares Indian students on F-1 visas, allowing them to continue pursuing higher education and OPT programs without additional costs.
This provides a layer of security for aspiring students planning to study abroad.
Impact on IT Companies
Leading Indian IT firms like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and others , rely on the H-1B program for overseas talent deployment. The proposed hike could increase project costs, reduce on-site staffing, and encourage local hiring in India.
