US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said that there will be a significant number of changes to the H1B visa process before February 2026. This comes ahead of the new one-time USD 100,000 fee for new H1B work visas. Lutnick described the idea of inexpensive tech consultants coming to the US with their families as completely wrong.

In addition to the new fee, the US Department of Labour has launched an initiative called Project Firewall. This enforcement programme aims to protect the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers.
The initiative ensures that employers prioritise qualified Americans when hiring and holds employers accountable for any abuse of the H1B process.
Secretary of Labour Lori Chavez-DeRemer said that Project Firewall will help ensure that no employer abuses H1B visas at the expense of American workers.
The programme allows the department to investigate employers, with the Secretary personally certifying investigations for the first time.
Violations may result in back wages for affected workers, civil penalties, or debarment from using the H1B programme for a certain period.
