New H-1B visa changes causing confusion in Silicon Valley, but Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman express optimism. The $100,000 fee addition, part of a recent executive order, is viewed by some as a way to attract highly skilled workers. Huang emphasized immigration's importance to the American dream and Nvidia's success. Altman stressed the need to attract top talent. Initial fears about the impact on existing visa holders were eased by White House clarification that the fee applies only to new applicants.
