The US will now charge a fee of $ 1,00,000 under the new rule of H-1B visa. The purpose of this change is only to attract top qualified and talented foreign candidates, so that those working on low salary can be stopped.
H1-b visa new rule: US President Donald Trump has made a major change in H-1B visa rules. He signed an announcement on Friday, under which H-1B visa applications will now be recovered new fees of $ 1,00,000, or 88 lakh rupees annually. Due to this, now only top qualified international candidates will be eligible for this visa.
What is the purpose to increase fees?
According to the White House Staff Secretary Will Sharf, the H-1B non-immigrant visa program is one of the visa systems that have been largely misused. The aim of this visa is that only highly skilled people can come to America and work. New applicants will now have to pay $ 1 lakh for the H-1B visa, which will insure that the person coming to America is really highly qualified. The H-1B visa aims to bring the best and talented foreigners for high-skilled jobs, which are difficult to fill from qualified American citizens and permanent residents for technology companies. Instead, these programs had become a pipeline for foreign employees, often ready to work at less than $ 60,000 per annum. This is much lower than the salary of more than $ 100,000 to American technical staff.
