It is scheduled to expire after a year. But it could be extended if the government determines that is in the interest of the United States to keep it.<\/p>\n<p>The White House in a social media post also sought to make clear the new rule \u201cdoes not impact the ability of any current visa holder to travel to\/from the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But immigration attorneys said that the White House move threatened to upend the lives of many skilled workers and has far-reaching impact on American business.<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen Campbell Walker, an immigration attorney with Dickinson Wright based in El Paso, Texas, said in a posting on LinkedIn that the White House move \u201cinserts total chaos in existing H-1B process with basically a day\u2019s notice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick on Friday told reporters that the fee would be an annual cost for companies.<\/p>\n<p>But a White House official said Saturday that it\u2019s a \u201cone-time fee.\u201d Asked if Lutnick\u2019s comments sowed confusion, the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly about the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the new fee \u201ccurrently does not apply to renewals but that policy is under discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, India\u2019s government expressed concern Saturday that the Trump administration move would\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/h1b-visa-trump-immigration-8d39699d0b2de3d90936f8076357254e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/h1b-visa-trump-immigration-8d39699d0b2de3d90936f8076357254e\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">dramatically raise the fee<\/a>\u00a0for visas that bring tech workers from there and other countries to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also rolled out a $1 million \u201cgold card\u201d visa for wealthy individuals.

The visa fee for skilled workers would jump from $215.<\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs said Saturday that Trump\u2019s plan \u201cwas being studied by all concerned, including by Indian industry.\u2033 The ministry warned that \u201dthis measure is likely to have humanitarian consequences by way of the disruption caused for families. Government hopes that these disruptions can be addressed suitably by the U.S. authorities.\u2033<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2025\/03\/04\/what-we-know-about-the-us-h-1b-visa-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2025\/03\/04\/what-we-know-about-the-us-h-1b-visa-program\/\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">More than 70%<\/a>\u00a0of H-1B visa holders are from India.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Critics say the H-1B visas undercut American workers<\/h4>\n<p>H-1B visas, which require at least a bachelor\u2019s degree, are meant for high-skilled jobs that tech companies find difficult to fill. Critics say the program undercuts American workers, luring people from overseas who are often willing to work for as little as $60,000 annually. That is well below the $100,000-plus salaries typically paid to U.S. technology workers.<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Friday insisted that the tech industry would not oppose the move. Lutnick, meanwhile, claimed \u201call big companies\u201d are on board.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for the biggest tech companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta, did not immediately respond to messages for comment. Microsoft declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re concerned about the impact on employees, their families and American employers,\u201d the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said. \u201cWe\u2019re working with the Administration and our members to understand the full implications and the best path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick said the change will likely result in far fewer H-1B visas than the 85,000 annual cap allows because \u201cit\u2019s just not economic anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to train people, you\u2019re going to train Americans,\u201d Lutnick said on a conference call with reporters. \u201cIf you have a very sophisticated engineer and you want to bring them in \u2026 then you can pay $100,000 a year for your H-1B visa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also announced he will\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-gold-card-visa-million-investors-1aa4585dc053e21c7d887f1fdb9eec13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-gold-card-visa-million-investors-1aa4585dc053e21c7d887f1fdb9eec13\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">start selling a \u201cgold card\u201d visa<\/a>\u00a0with a path to U.S. citizenship for $1 million after vetting. For companies, it will cost $2 million to sponsor an employee.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump offers \u2018Platinum Card\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>The \u201cTrump Platinum Card\u201d will be available for $5 million and allows foreigners to spend up to 270 days in the U.S. without being subject to U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income. Trump announced a $5 million gold card in February to replace an existing investor visa \u2014 this is now the platinum card.<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick said the gold and platinum cards would replace employment-based visas that offer paths to citizenship, including for professors, scientists, artists and athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of H-1Bs visas who say they are used to replace American workers applauded the move. U.S. Tech Workers, an advocacy group, called it \u201cthe next best thing\u201d to abolishing the visas altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Doug Rand, a senior official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Biden administration, said the proposed fee increase was \u201cludicrously lawless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t real policy \u2014 it\u2019s fan service for immigration restrictionists,\u201d Rand said. \u201cTrump gets his headlines, and inflicts a jolt of panic, and doesn\u2019t care whether this survives first contact with the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lutnick said the H-1B fees and gold card could be introduced by the president but the platinum card needs congressional approval.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visas doled out by lottery<\/h4>\n<p>Historically, H-1B visas have been doled out through lottery. This year, Amazon was by far the top recipient of H-1B visas with more than 10,000 awarded, followed by Tata Consultancy, Microsoft, Apple and Google. Geographically, California has the highest number of H-1B workers.<\/p>\n<p>Critics say H-1B spots often go to entry-level jobs, rather than senior positions with unique skill requirements. And while the program isn\u2019t supposed to undercut U.S. wages or displace U.S. workers, critics say companies can pay less by classifying jobs at the lowest skill levels, even if the specific workers hired have more experience.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, many U.S. companies find it cheaper to contract out help desks, programming and other basic tasks to consulting companies such as Wipro, Infosys, HCL Technologies and Tata in India and IBM and Cognizant in the U.S. These consulting companies hire foreign workers, often from India, and contract them out to U.S. employers looking to save money.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Ortutay reported from Oakland, Calif.
