Walmart suspends H-1B visa job offers after Trump fee hike

Walmart has paused hiring candidates who require H-1B visas, a move tied to the Trump administration’s new $100,000 application fee, according to a person familiar with the decision. The retailer said it remains committed to top talent while being “thoughtful” about H-1B hiring, and exceptions may occur. The policy shift, first reported by Bloomberg, comes as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sues to block the fee. Walmart had 2,390 H‑1B employees as of June 30; most of its U.S. workers are in stores and warehouses.
