U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose a new $100,000 application fee for H-1B worker visas, a White House official said, potentially dealing a big blow to the technology sector that relies heavily on skilled workers from India and China.
As part of his broader immigration crackdown, the Republican president was expected to sign a proclamation as early as Friday restricting entry under the H-1B visa program unless the application fee is paid, the official said.
Reuters was not immediately able to establish details of who the fee would apply to or how it would be administered.
Roughly two-thirds of jobs secured through the program are computer-related, according to government figures, but employers also use the visa to bring in engineers, educators and healthcare workers.
