The Trump administration is implementing new measures to restrict high-skilled foreign workers, including a Department of Labor regulation that would raise minimum salaries for H-1B visa holders. These measures include a potential $100,000 fee, which experts believe will increase employer costs and reduce the number of skilled foreign professionals hired in the US.
Key takeaways
- The Trump administration is developing a new immigration rule that experts predict will significantly increase the cost of hiring high-skilled foreign nationals in the United States
- Forbes reports that the forthcoming Department of Labor regulation is expected to mirror previous proposals to raise the minimum required salaries for H-1B visa holders to levels deemed unaffordable for many employers
- This rule is being implemented in conjunction with a separate initiative, announced in a presidential proclamation on September 19, that would impose a $100,000 fee on many H-1B professionals
