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

The announcement to impose a $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas sent shockwaves through corporate America.

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

Donald Trump has said those applying for H-1B visas will have to pay $100,000, roughly 60 times the current fee, starting Sunday.

More than 70% of H-1B visa holders are from India.

Jobs tend to be concentrated in STEM fields, and workers overwhelmingly come from India.

Dr. Vin Gupta argued that the impact of Trump’s $100K annual fee for H-1B visa applications will be felt once he’s out of office.

"This is NOT an annual fee," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition."

"This is NOT an annual fee," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition."

The United States awards 85,000 H-1B visas per year on a lottery system, with India accounting for around three-quarters of the recipients.

India may adapt, but the US risks losing skilled workers who have helped build the Silicon Valley and hospitals.

India has been one of the largest beneficiaries of H-1B visas, accounting for 71% of approved visas in 2024

The six-figure H-1B visa fee has jolted companies that have long relied on the program to bring in top global talent.

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."

Other tech leaders, like Elon Musk, have said they will ‘go to war’ to defend the program.

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.

This is a short-term thing, the ARK Invest CEO said, adding that it's definitely a "punishment" for India. "Productivity is one of the most potent anti-inflationary forces."
