The USCIS issued more details this week about the implementation of Trump’s $100,000 fee for H-1B visas.
The fee would primarily apply only to applications for new beneficiaries who are currently outside the United States.
The fee is facing at least one major legal challenge by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
More details and clarifications were given this week from US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Here are some of the main points given by the agency:
H-1B petitions filed on or after Sept. 21, 2025, for beneficiaries who are outside the United States and do not have a valid H-1B visa must be accompanied by a $100,000 payment as a condition of eligibility.
The fee does not apply to any previously issued and currently valid H-1B visas submitted prior to Sept. 21, 2025.
The fee does not apply to petitions requesting an amendment, change of status, or extension of stay. Though, if the worker is ineligible for the requested amendment, change of status, or extension of stay, the application would start anew and the fee would be applicable.

Current H-1B visa holders are permitted to travel in and out of the U.S.
