Trump Admin Proposes Strict H-1B Changes After Fee Hike

The Trump administration proposed stricter H-1B visa rules, days after raising the application fee to $100,000. The new process prioritizes highly skilled, better-paid workers. The one-time fee applies only to new applicants from September 21, 2025. Current visa holders and renewals remain unaffected. USCIS released an FAQ clarifying the changes.
