The Trump administration’s proposed $103,000 H-1B visa fee is facing strong pushback from major US technology industry groups. TechNet, the Information Technology Industry Council and the Semiconductor Industry Association have raised concerns that the six-figure fee could make it harder for American companies to recruit specialised workers from around the world. But the proposed fee could also have an unexpected impact on US federal revenue. Analysis cited in reports suggests that if employers respond to the high cost by filing fewer H-1B petitions, the US government could actually collect less revenue over the long term.
In this Firstpost video, we explain why Silicon Valley is opposing the proposed H-1B fee, how the charge could affect H-1B filings and why the revenue impact could extend beyond the fee itself. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the full story on Firstpost Live.
