The US President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation that will raise the fee for H1-B visas to a US$ 100,000 annually as the Republican administration continues to crack down on immigration. The move is likely to impact Indian technology workers who are hired by tech companies on H1-B visas. The visas are valid for three years and can be renewed for another three years. Trump also signed an executive order entitled 'The Gold Card', aimed at setting up a new visa pathway for foreigners of extraordinary ability who are committed to supporting the United States.
