President’s executive order is latest attempt by Washington to overhaul technology sector

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

Donald Trump is targeting H-1B visas frequently used by the tech industry with a $100,000 per-year fee.

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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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

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.
