The US Chamber of Commerce has raised concerns after President Donald Trump increased the application fee for H-1B visas to USD 100,000.
“We’re concerned about the impact on employees, their families, and employers. We’re working with the Administration and our members to understand the full implications and the best path forward,” said the department in an official statement.

The new H-1B visa fees will take effect from today. Amid the concern over the sudden development, a senior US administration official has said that those Indians who are currently on H-1B visas don’t need to panic or go back to America by September 21, as the new H-1B visa rules are only for new visa holders.
“Those who are visiting or leaving the country, or visiting India, don’t need to rush back before Sunday or pay the $100,000 fee. $100,000 is only for new and not current existing holders,” he told ANI.
