Trump's $100,000 Fee in New H-1B Petitions: What We Know (So Far)

Update: 2025-09-27

Description

On September 19, President Trump signed a Proclamation restricting the entry of certain H-1B workers into the United States, unless the Form I-129 (H-1B) petition was accompanied by a $100,000 fee from the employer. The restriction is effective as of September 21, and will expire in 12 months, absent an extension from the Trump Administration.

How will this be implemented? Will there be federal court litigation to stop it? That's what we don't yet know. But in this video, you will learn what we do know, so far.
