White House clarifies $100K H-1B visa fee won’t apply to existing holders as Trump stirs anxiety

President Trump's new immigration plan includes a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visas for skilled tech workers, sparking confusion. The White House clarified the fee doesn't apply to current visa holders or renewals. The administration also introduced a $1 million "gold card" visa and a $5 million "platinum card." These moves face legal challenges and criticism for potentially harming American businesses and families, especially given that over 70% of H-1B visa holders are Indian. Tech companies remain largely silent, while critics argue the changes are politically motivated and will likely be overturned in court.
