Trump administration plans further H-1B visa restrictions
The Trump administration unveiled plans to tighten the H-1B visa program, introducing a $100,000 mandatory application fee and stricter eligibility criteria to curb employer access. The move, framed as protecting U.S. jobs, has sparked intense debate across the technology and outsourcing sectors, where H-1B visas play a vital role in addressing skill shortages. Industry leaders warned the policy could disrupt innovation pipelines and talent mobility, further straining U.S.-India tech relations amid ongoing trade and immigration tensions.
