The H-1B visa programme, in place in its current form since 1990, allows for 85,000 visas each year, including 20,000 allocated to applicants with advanced degrees.

In September last year, US President Donald Trump hiked the fee for the application of H-1B visa to a whopping $100,000. | India News
