‘Hire and train Americans’: JD Vance defends proposed six-figure H-1B fee

The US Department of Homeland Security proposed a new $103,265 fee for H-1B visa petitions.

This fee aims to recover government costs for administering the immigration system.

Vice President JD Vance supports the proposal, emphasizing hiring American workers.

Indian professionals, a major beneficiary group, could be significantly impacted by this change.

The public has thirty days to submit comments on this proposed rule.
