New Guidance on $100,000 fees for H-1B Applications
On September 19, 2025, President Trump issued a ‘Proclamation on the Restrictions on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers’, significantly affecting the H-1B visa program. The proclamation, effective September 21, 2025, restricts the admission of certain H-1B workers outside the United States and introduces a new $100,000 fee requirement for specific H-1B petitions.
The announcement initially created widespread confusion about its scope and immediate impact. Many H-1B visa holders were advised not to travel, or, if abroad, to return to the United States before the proclamation took effect to avoid possible denial of reentry.
In response, on September 20, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a short memorandum clarifying the scope of the proclamation.
