Indian IT Sector Warns of Disruption After H-1B Fee Jump
Indian technology services companies may face significant disruption as the new $100,000 annual H-1B visa fee increases costs of sending workers to the U.S. Firms with tight margins and large workforce overseas could re-think staffing models. The rule change might push some operations out of the U.S. and accelerate automation. Indian tech firms dependent on H-1B talent may also face client pushback or renegotiation of contracts. Some are evaluating whether this will distort resource planning and pricing in contracts dollarized in U.S. regions.
