The American official gave good news in the midst of Trump’s raise by increasing the H-1B visa fee, said-‘Only New …’

The announcement of US President Donald Trump’s annual fee to $ 1 lakh for the H-1B visa raised the Indian IT professionals and companies. Many big tech companies had even advised their employees to return to America immediately. But now an American official has made it clear that Indians do not need to panic.

The US official said on Saturday, “Indians living on H-1B visas have no need to return to America by Sunday nor will they have to pay 1 million dollars to come again.” The official clarified that this new rule of the Trump government will apply only to the new visa application. This new fee will not be applicable to those who already have a H-1B visa or who are renewing their visa.

Most impact on Indians
This decision of America could have the most impact on Indian professionals, because 70% of the H-1B visa holders are Indians. This was the reason that tech companies had alerted their employees immediately.

Concern in companies, now some relief
Legendary companies like Microsoft, Amazon and JP Morgan warned their employees to return to America. But now this cleanliness of the American officer has brought great relief to the Indian professionals and their families.

Companies have released warning
After the news of visa fees hike, big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and JP Morgan advised their employees. He said that those who are outside America should return immediately. At the same time, those who are already in America were warned to avoid international travel. Currently, the H-1B visa fee ranges between $ 2,000 to 5,000.
