The White House on Saturday released a ‘factories’ and supported President Donald Trump’s new and controversial decision. Under this, a huge fee of US $ 1 lakh (about 88 lakh rupees) will be charged on the new H-1B visa petitions. The administration says that the move aims to save American employees from replacement from foreigners and secure American employment.

According to the factory, the share of employees working in the IT sector on H-1B visa was 32% in 2003, which has increased to more than 65% in recent years. At the same time, unemployment rate among American students studying computer science and computer engineering has reached 6.1% and 7.5%, which is double the graduates of other subjects. Between 2000 and 2019, the number of foreign Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) was doubled, while the total stem employment increased by just 44.5%.

This year a large scale trimmed

The White House also mentioned some companies, which trimmed thousands of American employees, while the recruitment of H-1B employees increased. A company was approved 5,189 H-1B visas in 2025, but this year it fired 16,000 American employees. The second company received 1,698 H-1B approval, but removed 2,400 US employees in July. A third company has trimmed 27,000 US employees since 2022, while 25,075 H-1B visas have been approved.

The White House said that President Trump has been given a mandate to the American public to give priority to American workers and they are constantly working on it. According to him, all the new jobs have been received to American -born employees since Trump took over, while most of the employment went to foreign employees during Biden.

According to the latest data, 72% of Indians were found in around 4 lakh H-1B visas issued between October 2022 and September 2023. Following this order of Trump, anxiety and nervousness spread among Indians living in America. Many people canceled the plan to go to India at the last moment, while many people present in India started trying to return to America.

Fees will be applicable only to new petitions

However, the administration later made it clear that this new fee of $ 1 million will be applicable only to new applications. Older visa holders will not have to pay it and those who are already out of America will not have to pay any additional fee on re -entry. This rule will be applicable from September 21 and the petitions filed before it will not be affected by it.

American Republican Senator Mike Lee has expressed the possibility of banning the H1B visa. He questioned in response to a post on the social media platform X (Twitter) whether the time has come to stop the H1B visa now? The statement came at a time when a post claimed that an officer of Walmart was given a bribe to give priority to the Indian H1B employees. Mike Lee has become the new leader raising his voice on this issue, which has intensified the ongoing debate on the H1B program in America.

The H1B visa started in 1990 allows American companies to appoint foreign employees in specific businesses. This visa is released for three years, which can be extended to a maximum of six years. Every year the US government issues 65,000 H1B visas, while 20,000 additional visas are given to master or PHD from American universities. India has long been the greatest beneficiary of the H1B visa program, especially for IT and technology professionals.

Partition on H1B in American politics
Recently, partition in American politics on H1B visa is clearly visible. Vice President JD Vance said that large tech companies remove American employees and recruit H1B employees, which is injustice to American professionals. He gave examples that companies are applying for foreign work visas even after taking out thousands of employees. On the other hand, Trump had earlier described the H1B visa as a great program and said that employees with H1B visa holders work in many companies.

USCIS director’s stance and possibility of new rules
Newly appointed director of USCIS Joseph Adlo has said that the H1B visa should be used to complement American economy and workers and not to replace them. According to US media reports, the Trump administration is considering eliminating the H1B lottery system and implementing the salary-based priority system. This means that employees who get high salary will get priority.

Impact on Indian professionals
The largest share in the H1B visa program is Indian IT and technical professionals. Every year thousands of Indian engineers, doctors and researchers go through the US H1B visa. If the rules are strict or banned, it will directly affect India’s IT sector and Indian talent.

Ever since Donald Trump has implemented the reciperook tariff policy, many big economists have said that this step is not right for America. Now the talk of these economists has been further strengthened by a survey on American citizens. It has been told in this survey that American citizens have become pessimistic about the US economy. Let us tell you what things came out in this survey.

What were the revelations in the survey?

According to a report published on the website of American news channel CNN, the latest survey of the University of Michigan has revealed that American citizens have become very pessimistic about the economy these days. This month, Consumer Confidence Index has recorded a decline of 11 per cent, which is the second lowest level since 1952. Surprisingly, even during the 2008 financial crisis, people’s morale did not fall so much.

Tariff war became the main reason

President Donald Trump’s tariff policy remains the main cause of this pessimism. The ongoing tariff war with China has created a possibility of increasing inflation. Although the tariffs imposed on other countries have been stopped for 90 days, the concerns of common Americans have not come down. People of every age group, income group and political ideology involved in the survey have expressed concern about the economic future.

Crisis on consumer spending

70 percent of the US economy depends on consumer expenses. Experts are worried that if people reduce spending then the risk of recession may increase further. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says that Americans have been spending till now despite inflation, but if employment opportunities start decreasing then the situation can worsen.

Experts are also giving warnings

Blackrock CEO Larry Fink while speaking to CNN warned that the uncertainty created by Trump’s tariff policy could create a 2008 financial crisis. The same, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has also described tariffs and trade war as a big threat to the economy. In the last few years, the expenses of rich Americans have supported the economy, but now their purchasing capacity can also be affected due to the decline in the stock market.

Increasing concerns about inflation

The biggest concern for the Federal Reserve is that American citizens have started feeling that inflation will remain for a long time. According to the survey, the inflation rate is expected to be 6.7 percent in the next one year, which is much higher than the 5 per cent of the March figure. If this perception becomes, then it will be even more difficult for the Fed to control inflation.

India can also be affected

The effect of recession in the US economy can be seen globally. Emerging economies like India may face a decline in export and decrease in foreign investment. However, some experts believe that India may be able to face this crisis on the strength of its strong domestic market.

Us Donald Trump Tariff on India: According to a new report by CARAEGE ratings, India may face export losses of $ 3.1 billion (about Rs 25,700 crore) due to a possible new tariff to be declared by US President Donald Trump. This figure is equal to about 0.1 percent of India’s GDP (GDP), which can become a matter of concern for the Indian economy.

According to Smita Rajpurkar, director of CARAIGE Ratings, increasing tariffs may have a serious impact on India’s major export areas, including many areas. For example, textile and garment industry, automobiles and auto parts include IT and pharmaceuticals. Explain that a huge amount of cloth is exported to America from India, which will be affected by increasing tariffs. The Indian auto sector is already facing recession, so it can be further affected by the new tariff. India’s IT and pharmaceutical companies make good profits from the US market. Increasing tariffs will increase cost, which can reduce the competitive capacity of Indian companies.

Possible impact of tariff on India
If US President Donald Trump announces a tariff on India, then many types of major effects can be seen, which is not being considered right for the Indian economy in any way.

Exports fall: Increased tariffs will cost Indian companies to send goods to America, which can reduce their demand.
Putstation in currency: Indian rupee can weaken due to increasing business tension with America, which will make imports expensive and inflation can increase.
Investment reduction: Global investors can avoid investing in India due to increasing trade stress, which can affect Indian stock market.
Business war threat: The report also warns that if the global trade war broke out, it can increase the instability in the Indian economy and negatively affect financial stability.

Can India overcome this crisis?
India will need to adopt some strategies to overcome this crisis, such as focus on other export markets. Along with this, insisting on increasing trade with Europe, Africa and Asian countries by reducing dependence on America. The local industry will have to provide subsidy and tax relief so that they can withstand the impact of the new tariff and maintain competition. India will have to talk to the US on new business treaties, so that economic balance can be maintained.

Gold Card Visa for Us Citizenship: US President Donald Trump recently announced a gold card visa, which people would have to spend five million dollars (about 43 crore rupees) to get. Meanwhile, Trump’s top official Howard Lutnik has claimed that his Gold Card Scheme has received a tremendous response.

According to Lutnik, 1,000 cards were sold at a price of $ 5 million per card, raising a total amount of $ 5 billion. Let us know that America has set a target of selling one crore gold cards.

37 million potential buyers
Speaking on ‘All-in Podcast’, US Commerce Secretary Lutnik said that there are 37 million people in the world who can buy this card. Trump believes that he can raise up to 5 trillion dollars by selling 1 million gold cards. Lutnik said, “There are 37 million people in the world who are able to buy cards … The President feels that we can sell a million,”

Whose replacement is the gold card?
According to Lutnik, Trump’s Gold Card Scheme is a replacement of the existing EB-5 Investor Visa. This card will give big investors an opportunity to get a permanent residence in the US. Earlier, Lutynik had said that 2.5 lakh people are interested in this gold card. The idea was Trump’s brainchild, which he shared during a meeting with famous investor John Paulson. He said, “It was my job to implement Trump’s idea, and I found out how to do it.”

America’s economy will get strength?
Trump appreciated the scheme and described it as a step of strengthening the US economy. He says that this scheme will attract rich investors, which will increase jobs in America and increase tax collection. Trump told Fox News, “Rich people will buy this card and come to our country. They will be successful, will spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes and will give employment to many people,”

Plan to repay national debts from gold card sales
Let us know that this scheme has been brought with the aim of reducing the US National Debt of $ 36.2 trillion. According to Lutnik, this can be an effective way to reduce federal deficit.
