Trump’s H1B Policy Hits Indian Students Hard
Deccan Chronicle ^ | 9/26/2025 | Prathyush Nallella

Several Indian students who secured job offers in the United States have seen their offers withdrawn after US President Donald Trump announced the $1,00,000 H-1B visa policy. Under the new rule, US employers who are looking to sponsor H-1B visas should pay a one-time fee of $1,00,000, which many companies now cite as a reason to back out.

Thousands of students, who are currently on F-1 visas, wanted to bag a job in the United States and obtain an H-1B visa. But with the new rules and skyhigh price on the visa, the companies are reluctant to pay the amount, and are rescinding the offers they made to students.

Speaking with Deccan Chronicle, R.P. Sowmya, a Hyderabad-origin student who is set to complete her Masters in Science from a university in Georgia, said “I applied to multiple companies, and was looking to work full-time with the company which sponsored my H-1B. After multiple back and forths, a company accepted and sent an offer letter.”

“But the $1,00,000 fee news got out, and everything came to a halt. For three days, there was no communication from them. Subsequently, they sent an email saying that they are cancelling the offer. When I inquired, they said they cannot pay the heavy fee for my H-1B visa, and said they have no other option but to cancel my offer”, she said.

I don’t know but maybe you should move to India and recruit there.

I was in the IT field for over 35 years and while I never lost a job to an H1-B, I’m sure it cost me plenty of money in terms of wage suppression.

I can’t stand the cheap labor lobby.

“Does anyone ever ask businesses what policies they want or need? Nope, no one cares.”

Are you kidding me? The entire H1-b, Illegal immigration, outsourcing jobs is catering to business.

The price of labor is subject to supply and demand like everything else. But people like you want an unlimited supply of labor to depress wages.

Then you wonder why young people aren’t having enough kids or the consumer is tapped out.
