After US President Donald Trump enhanced the application fee for H-1B visas to $1,00,000, many American firms have started advertising technical jobs exclusively for US citizens.
Roles such as software developers, process engineers, project managers, and UI/UX designers, once largely filled by H-1B visa holders, are now being listed with a clear note: “Open to US citizens only.” Industry experts said that the new fee has made hiring foreign talent “financially unviable” for most companies, especially small and mid-sized ones.
The move, which came into effect last month, is imposed on companies hiring new H-1B applicants. The $1,00,000-fee caused widespread concern among international workers, especially those from India who form a majority of H-1B applicants and depend on the H-1B programme to work in America’s technology sector.
Recruiters report that companies are quietly shifting their hiring focus toward domestic candidates to avoid the steep cost.
Speaking with Deccan Chronicle, Rebeca Pardo, a hiring assistant for a tech firm in San Francisco, said “Our budgets cannot handle a $1,00,000 fee for every new hire. Thus we’re told to prioritise US citizens only.”
“It is not about discrimination. It’s solely about the cost for companies. Multinational companies and major corporations could hire a few H-1B applicants as they have a lot of budget, but medium to small-faring companies cannot sustain with such a heavy fee,” Rebeca added.

And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.
Keep ‘em coming. Ignore the loser.
Now they’ll all be sued by the civil liberties commies for discriminating on the basis of national origin.
OK, dummy.
Noooo! What will the globalist / great replacement / white genocide fans do now ?!!
Tomorrow is going to be a bad day for the H1B pimps. Responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee inquiries are due by end of day.
All those companies laying off American tech workers and looking for H1-B Indians should be referred for prosecution.
There might be some truth to this.
I should know in a week or so.
See, he's got one of Pavlov's dummies drooling already when the dummy sees an H1-B article.
Too stupid to realize that it's a New Troll, and that The Urkaine Troll has gone away because it only gets so many freepers to say dumb stuff on FR.
This New Troll is much, MUCH more productive. Who wants to contribute to Stormfront?
It’s $100,000, not $1M.
Where did you dig this up?
Deccan Chronicle. I know the Deccan plain. anyway, how ridiculous.
Indian publication. Indians can’t even get their commas right.
Indians can’t even get their commas right. No wonder their code sucks.
how much is $1,00,000?
Indians can’t even put their commas in the right place.
H1B wrecked American tech workers opportunities and salaries. Recovery will take time.
MAGA! President Trump, winning.
Misinformation. There are millions of green card visa holders in USA. They are legal permanent residents, can get citizenship after 3 to 5 years on green card. Those folks are NOT USA citizens and no NOT require H1-B visa to work. The $100,000 fee does not apply to them.
Interesting. I tend to agree with the sentiment that it’s about 20 years late, but better late than never.
