Trump imposes $100K fee on H-1B visas and creates $1M "gold card" visa, effective Sept. 21, 2025.
President Donald Trump signed a proclamation imposing a $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visa applications, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign workers and prioritize American hiring, while introducing a $1 million “gold card” visa for wealthy individuals with a path to citizenship.
The changes, which face legal challenges and criticism for overstepping presidential authority, could make H-1B visas economically unviable for many employers, particularly in tech.
The administration claims the move will encourage companies to train U.S. workers, though major tech firms did not comment.
The H-1B program, used for high-skilled workers in fields like technology and science, has long been controversial, with critics arguing it enables lower wages and displaces American workers.
The new measures, effective September 21, 2025, are expected to generate significant revenue but may be limited by congressional approval for the higher-tier visas.
