The Trump administration is proposing a $103,265 fee for new cap-subject H-1B petitions — including many international students changing status inside the U.S. Important: this is only a proposal. It is not in effect, and nobody owes this money today. The number comes from DHS taking roughly $8.8 billion in broader immigration-system costs and dividing it by 85,000 projected H-1B petitions. That’s also part of the legal strategy: the administration’s previous $100,000 payment was struck down as an unauthorized tax, so this time DHS is trying to impose the cost through formal fee rulemaking. The big question is whether employers will actually keep sponsoring at that price. Large companies may be able to absorb it, but startups, medical practices, engineering firms, and employers hiring international students may simply stop sponsoring. At what point does a filing fee stop recovering costs and start shutting people out of the program? #H1B #ImmigrationNews #USCIS #InternationalStudents #WorkVisa
