President Trump’s sudden policy shift sent tech firms scrambling to get immigrant workers back to the US and avoid $100,000 fees.

When Trump’s announcement came, it didn’t give companies or lawyers any time to prepare. “It was timed to create pandemonium,” said a New York–based immigration lawyer.

Companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft rely on skilled foreign workers. Experts say they’ll pay for the best — but the policy could redirect top talent elsewhere.

Trump’s visa move is a big blow to US tech companies, but could benefit other countries seeking skilled workers.

European tech founders are ready to strike and hoover up disillusioned tech talent seeking more security than the US offers.

Startups and smaller firms could bear the brunt of Trump's new H-1B visa fee, and some fear it could thwart US innovation.
