flag A new $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions took effect on September 21, 2025, under a presidential proclamation aiming to restrict nonimmigrant worker entry. flag The rule, set to last one year, applies to new cap-subject and cap-exempt filings but not renewals or pre-existing petitions. flag It faces legal challenges, with a lawsuit arguing it exceeds executive authority and violates immigration law. flag Uncertainties remain over payment, exemptions, and change-of-employer petitions. flag Employers are advised to delay filings and consider alternatives like L-1, O-1, or TN visas. flag Current H-1B holders are unaffected, but reentry after travel may carry risks.
