Every time new H1-B restrictions appear, jobs go to Canada.

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

Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and other tech companies sent messages to affected employees telling them to return to the US on Saturday.

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump ordered on Friday that an annual $100,000 fee be added to H-1B skilled worker...

The H-1B visa programme is used heavily by Indian outsourcing firms as well as the US tech sector to bring in skilled workers from abroad.

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

Move is a blow to big tech companies, which rely heavily on visas to hire staff from overseas, particularly India

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."

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.

Startups across the U.S. have been left worrying about the implications of potential hefty fees on H-1B visas.

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

The steep jump in the visa fee from a range of US$2,000 to US$5,000 is expected to curb the flow of India’s tech manpower to the US.

Every time new H1-B restrictions appear, jobs go to Canada.

Here's why the new H-1B fee is another setback for entrepreneurs and American innovation.

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