US H-1B Visa explained: During his first term Donald Trump had described the H-1B programme as "very, very bad" for American workers. He tried banning the visa but that did not work because the courts overturned the ban. In his second term he figured out how to stave off a legal challenge. He has raised the fees by around 20 times creating confusion and uncertainty that stretches from the US to India. NDTV Focus explains everything that there is know, about the H-1B visa and what is going to happen now that the visa fee for new applicants stands at 1 hundred thousand dollars.
