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.
