US H-1B Visa: In a major development for the H-1B visas, the US Department of Homeland Security has issued new guidance on the USD 100,000 application fee. This comes just two days after US Chamber of Commerce sued the US President Donald Trump-led administration over the new rules, terming it “unlawful.
”What will current H-1B holders pay?Here are the new guidelines for the H-1B visa holders:1- IANS reported that according to the new guidelines, workers who switch to H-1B visa status from other visa categories such as F-1 student status would not be subjected to the USD 100,000 fee.2- H-1B workers applying for an amendment, change of status, or extension of stay within the US would also not be subjected to the payment. 3- In a massive relief for the current H-1B visa holders, the guidelines state that they would not be prevented from entering or leaving the US.Notably, it has been clarified that the proclamation only applies to new visa petitions who are outside the US and do not have a valid H-1B visa.
