Trump Administration Targets H-1B Workers With New $100K Barrier
Immigration laws continue to change at a rapid pace
President Trump's new proclamation adds a $100,000 requirement to new H-1B petitions, creating a steep financial barrier for applicants and their employers.
The policy blocks approvals and entry for new petitions without the payment, with only narrow exemptions allowed. Employers now face stricter oversight, audits, and wage requirements, making it even harder for skilled workers to secure legal opportunities in the U.S.
