Revised H-1B Fee Only For New Applicants, Won't Affect Renewals Either: Sources

In a big relief for Indians who are currently on H-1B visas, the new $100,000 fee will apply only to the next upcoming lottery cycle and not existing holders or renewals, a White House official told NDTV.

Companies like Meta, Microsoft and Amazon had asked their H-1B and H-4 visa holder employees to not leave the country for at least 14 days and to those already out of the country, to return by Sunday.
