India’s foreign ministry says Trump administration’s move to increase H1-B visa fees may have humanitarian consequences.

Trump's H-1B visa fee hike to $100,000 annually shocks Indian tech workers in the U.S., impacting global IT industry.

Indian companies were the biggest beneficiaries for years. But that's changed; US firms now dominate visa recipients.

The founder of Greycroft Partners says "there is not a single company that I have invested in the last 10 years that could afford to pay this."
