The US government has increased the fees of H-1B visa to $ 1 lakh, or about 88 lakh rupees. This new fee will only apply to new visa applications and has been implemented under the order of US President Donald Trump. However, the US government has clarified that in some cases, visa fee can be exempted in view of national interest. Actually the H-1B visa is important for those experts and trend professionals who come to work in America’s hospitals and IT companies. Especially in remote areas where local professionals are not available, there is more dependence on foreign employees.

Impact of increasing fees

Regarding increasing the H-1B visa fees, the major organization of the IT industry Nascom says that in the last few years, Indian companies have reduced the dependence on H-1B visa in the US. The number of H-1B visas issued from India in 2015 was 14, 792, which declined to 10,162 in 2024. Nascom says that the new fees will only apply to new applications and it will not affect the existing visa holders. According to Nascom, the number of H-1B visa employees is less than one percent of the total employees in large companies. The salary of employees working under this visa is equal to local employees.

New job options in America after increasing fees

After increasing the fees of H-1B visa, many companies are increasing L-1 visa. This visa is for employees who are already working in the company and want to be transferred to America. For this, it is necessary to have a role of at least 1 year job and special knowledge in the company. Apart from this, O-1 visa is also available for jobs in America. This visa is released for professionals with extraordinary talent. At the same time, J-1 visa is also available for jobs in America, this visa is for trainee and intern. Apart from this, you can also work in America with EB-1A visa. This visa also gives a green card directly to professionals with extraordinary talent. At the same time, students who have completed their studies in America are also allowed to work for 3 years under Stem OPT.

Impact on students studying in America

H-1B visa fees can affect the entry level jobs. At the same time, after changes in visa, companies will now give priority to local or American graduates. This can reduce job opportunities for Indian students. In such a situation, Indian graduates are looking for opportunities in countries like Japan, Ireland, Canada and Europe.

US President Donald Trump has surprised the Indian IT sector and the youth who dreamed of the job there on Friday (September 19, 2025). According to the new proclamation issued from the White House, if any company wants to bring a foreign employee on the H-1B visa to America, then it will have to pay an additional $ 1 lakh (about 83 lakh rupees) with every petition. Foreign employee will not be given entry without this payment.

This rule will be applicable from 21 September 2025 and will be valid for one year at present. However, America’s Homeland Security Department will also be able to give exemption in any matter in view of the national interest. This means that now only those foreign employees will be able to reach America who are either top-shields or whose presence will be considered very important in terms of American economy and security.

H-1B visa is being misused- Trump administration

The Trump administration claims that the H-1B visa has been misused for a long time. The purpose of starting this program was that such high-skilled foreign employees come to America who are lacking there, but the reality is that the big IT outsourcing firms used this system to remove American employees and keep cheap foreign workers, the situation deteriorated so much that many reports revealed that American workers were forced to even train their own foreign replacement.

US government figures show that the H-1B workers’ stake in the IT sector was 32 percent in 2003, which has now increased to more than 65 percent. Due to this, unemployment has increased among American youth. Especially computer science and engineering graduates are facing the most problems, where unemployment rate has reached 6 to 7.5 percent, which is doubled compared to many other areas.

Big shock for Indian IT companies
This decision is very important in terms of India. Actually, Indians have the biggest stake in H-1B visa holders. Every year thousands of Indian engineers, software developers and tech professionals reach America through this visa. This is also a major setback for Indian IT companies. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant have been sending Indian employees on a large scale on H-1B. For them, this new rule can affect the entire business model, because Bulk Hiring will now become very expensive.

What does Trump say
President Trump has linked the move to the security of American jobs and national security. He says that the misuse of H-1B is damaging the salary structure of the American technology sector and discouraging American youth from adopting science and technology career. This is the reason why they have forced companies to make this visa expensive and difficult to give priority to American workers first.

Big warning for Indians

Overall, it is clear that now it will be more difficult to get H-1B visa in America. This decision is also a shock for India and a warning. The shock is because the opportunities of thousands of Indian professionals will be less and warning because now India will have to create such opportunities in their country for its IT industry and youth talent, so that they do not have to depend on abroad.

Wood said, “I will choose Rohit Sharma according to the different stages of my career. It is difficult to bowl him because while bowling the short, you feel that he has a chance to dismiss, but if he is in form that day he is in the form, he batting. So he was difficult to bowl. I always felt that ‘his bat is just widening”. “

Mark Wood is one of the fastest bowlers in recent years, who has the ability to bowl at a speed of more than 145 km per hour. He also described Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant as a tough competitor. He said, “Surely Kohli is incredible competitive. Players who I felt that the fourth and fifth stump is his weakness, but whenever I bowled him on this line, he never missed it.
