H-1B Visa New Rules: Karoline Leavitt of the White House clearly makes who will be charged $ 100,000-an annual fee '
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released a fact sheet on Saturday that highlighted the most important doubts about the new H-1B visa rules. In the midst of speculation about exactly who $ 100,000 will be charged, Leavitt said: “It is not an annual fee” and that “it only applies to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa containers.” New H-1B Visa policy, US President Donald Trump, signed a proclamation on Friday, which imposed an annual fee of $ 100,000 on H-1B visa applications. The fee comes into effect at 12:01 o’clock ET Sunday. It is scheduled to expire after a year. But it can be expanded if the government determines that it is in the interests of the United States to maintain it. However, Trump’s latest plan to review the US immigration system has left some immigrant workers confused. H-1B visas enables businesses to sponsor foreign workers with specialized skills-as scientists, engineers and computer programmers to work in the US, initially for three years, but scorable to six. H-1B: Who is charged $ 100,000 fee? The White House has made it clear that the new $ 100,000 fee for skilled technical workers only applies to new applicants and not to current visa holders. This means that people who have been selected in this year’s H-1B-Lottery and whose visas will be in effect on October 1 do not have to pay this fee. With the release of a fact page, Karoline Leavitt highlighted four points: 1) This is not an annual fee. It is a one -time fee that applies only to the petition. 2) Those who already have H-1B visas and are currently out of the country will not be charged $ 100,000 to go back in. H-1B visa holders can leave the country and re-enter to the same extent as they would normally do; The ability they need to do is not influenced by the proclamation of yesterday. 3) It only applies to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders. 4) It will only apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.
