"Likely To Have Humanitarian Consequences": India On Trump Hiking H-1B Visa Fee
The Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday said that the H-1B visa fee hike could have humanitarian consequences by way of disruption caused for families. It also said that the government is studying the implications of the hike and hopes that the US authorities will address the matter.
In his latest move to crack down on immigration, US President Donald Trump on Friday, signed a proclamation imposing a $100,000 (over Rs 88 lakh) fee annually on H-1B visa applicants. The visa fee ranges from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on employer size and other costs.
