Trump-Era H-1B Visa Fee Hike: A Look Back at the $100,000 Proposal

During his presidency, Donald Trump implemented significant changes to the U.S. legal migration system, notably proposing a substantial increase in the H-1B visa application fee. One of his administration’s most extensive steps included a proclamation that would have imposed a staggering $100,000 fee on the widely utilized H-1B visa program. This move was designed to drastically elevate the cost of these highly sought-after visas, which are crucial for many American companies seeking to bring in skilled workers from abroad.

The policy, enacted during Trump’s term, explicitly aimed to favor the wealthiest prospective expat workers, reshaping the landscape of skilled immigration to the United States. This historical context provides insight into past efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration policies.
