India Warns US Visa Fee Hike Could Have “Humanitarian Consequences”
The Indian government expressed concern over a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, anticipating “humanitarian consequences” due to family disruptions. India, which receives the majority of these visas, hopes the US authorities will address these issues. This recent change, announced by President Trump, has caused uncertainty for businesses. The Indian government also stated the exchange of skilled workers has benefited both nations and policy makers are assessing the recent developments considering these mutual benefits.
