DHS Proposal to Revise H-1B Visa Fees Clears White House Review
The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposal to revise fees for certain H-1B visa petitions has cleared a key White House regulatory review, moving closer to public release. Details of the proposed rule remain undisclosed, including which petitions or fee amounts might be affected. This development follows a previous $100,000 fee imposed on some H-1B workers from outside the US, which was recently blocked by a federal court. The proposal will undergo public comment before any final rule is issued, with Indian professionals likely to be impacted given their significant share of H-1B approvals.
