Episode Title: Now Talented INDIANS Will NOT Go To Other Countries! H1B Visa Fees #shorts
Produced by: FactTechz
Description: The U.S. government just announced a big change to the H-1B visa rules. Starting on September 21, 2025, employers who want to file a new H-1B petition will have to pay a one-time fee of $100,000. This is not an annual fee, but it applies to each new petition that gets filed after the deadline. The rule does not apply to people who already hold H-1B visas or to those renewing their visas. If you are already in the U.S. on an H-1B, this new fee does not affect you directly. The government says the goal is to protect American workers from being replaced by foreign employees who are often paid less. Officials also point to cases where the H-1B program has been misused. On the other hand, many companies, especially in the tech industry, rely heavily on H-1B workers, and this fee could make it much harder for smaller companies and startups to hire international talent. The change has created a lot of confusion and worry. Some H-1B holders who were traveling abroad rushed back to the U.S. before the deadline, fearing that they might get stuck or face extra costs if they returned later. Employers have also been advising workers not to travel unless necessary. Families and applicants outside the U.S. are especially anxious about how this will play out for them. India is expected to be the most affected, since the majority of H-1B visas go to Indian workers. Many Indian families could see their plans disrupted, and the extra cost may discourage companies from sponsoring as many people. While large corporations might still afford the fee, smaller employers may avoid hiring through the H-1B route altogether. For now, the fee applies only to new petitions, and there could still be exemptions or legal challenges. But the main point is clear: the H-1B program has suddenly become much more expensive, and this is likely to affect workers, families, and businesses that depend on it.
