DHS omits data showing H-1B visa fee would slash filings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has omitted key data from a proposed immigration rule that indicates a significant decrease in H-1B visa filings following the introduction of a substantial fee. This omission appears intended to obscure the fact that the proposed $103,265 fee would likely lead employers to drastically reduce their use of H-1B visas, undermining the rule's revenue projections. Vice President JD Vance has suggested the rule's purpose is to end the use of H-1B visas for high-skilled foreign nationals, prioritizing American workers. AI

IMPACT Potential reduction in the availability of high-skilled foreign talent for AI and other tech fields in the United States.
