The US government has recently made changes in the H-1B visa regulations, which has increased the possibility of many Indian employees getting affected. Let us know what these changes are and what effect it can have on Indian employees.

The number of Indians working on H-1B visas in America is in millions. Especially there are a large number of Indians in tech companies like Google. According to the report, among the employees working in Google, there are many percent of foreign foreigners and most of them are Indians. These people are working in areas such as software development, data analytics, cloud computing and artificial intelligence for large US companies.

Recently, the US administration has changed the fees and rules of H-1B visa. Now applying for this visa, companies will have to pay more amount than before. Apart from this, the process of obtaining the H-1B visa has become more hard and longer.

Now the application fees of H-1B visa have increased manifold. Companies will have to do more paperwork before appointing foreign employees. New conditions have been implemented in visa duration and renewal. These changes will not only affect new hiring, but can also affect the security of the job of existing employees.

This change can be challenging for Indians working on H-1B visa. Especially those who are in big tech companies like Google, they can now find it difficult to get jobs and maintain. For companies, keeping foreign employees will be expensive and full of paperwork.

According to media reports, a fee of $ 100,000 has been implemented for the new H-1B visa applications implemented from September 21. This fee is applicable only to those applying outside the US. According to reports, the current visa holder and renewal or expansion seekers are currently free.
