H-1B Visa Application Fees Increased for America!

Therefore, foreigners coming to work in America on the ‘H-1B visa’ will now have to pay 100,000 American dollars, equivalent to about 90 lakh rupees in Indian currency, instead of the previous 50% interest rate, which has been applied to products being imported from India. This notification specifically targets countries in South Asia, including India, and has raised concerns among those applying for this visa. The increased visa fee is believed by many to put a strain on Indian Information Technology professionals, who make up a large portion of the workforce that comes to America through the H-1B program.
