Pawan Khera flags H-1B fee extension, warns of impact on Indian IT talent

The US administration has renewed a USD 100,000 fee for certain H-1B visa petitions. This move could significantly affect Indian IT professionals and students seeking employment. Smaller companies may now avoid sponsoring H-1B visas altogether due to increased costs. Indian professionals might explore opportunities in the UK, Canada, and Australia. This policy change aims to strengthen program integrity and curb perceived abuses.
