US President Trump has again cooked a new bomb for India, completed the H-1B Visa Lotto System, know how will the selection be done now?
After introducing 50 percent rates and increasing the H-1B visa fee, US President Trump has now changed the Lottery System for H-1B visa. According to the new rules, an additional application fee of $ 1,00,000 will have to be paid and the lottery system will be replaced by salary -based selection. Priority will be given to high -level talent and professionals with a high price. What is its purpose and what will it affect? The purpose of this decision by President Trump is to protect the work of US citizens and prevent the recruitment of foreign employees at a low salary. The changes made by the Trump administration regarding the H-1B visa will have a direct impact on Indians and other foreign workers who have so far benefited the H-1B Visa program, as about 70 percent H-1B visa holders in the US are Indians. On September 20, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 20 to increase the H-1B visa fee. In addition, new applicants will now have to pay an extra $ 100,000 fee for H-1B Visa, which is around £ 8.5m (about £ 8.5m). Although the medical field is exempt from a $ 100,000 fee, other people will have to pay. Currently, the Visa selection process works in the same way. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues H-1B visa. The application process follows a comprehensive process. First, an electronic registration is completed. The company creates an online account on the USCIS website and registers people it wants to hire, provides passport details and pays a $ 215 fee fee. Preliminary registrations will not be accepted, and only one registration per person will be accepted. Next, if the number of registrations exceeds the prescribed visa number, qualified registrations are collected by the random lottery generated by the computer. Thereafter, 20,000 master visas are issued, followed by 65,000 ordinary visa. After selection, the company completes the process by paying fee, etc. And then a visa is issued. It is striking that the USCIS for the financial year 2026 from 1 October 2025 118,660 chose beneficiaries, which led to the registration of 120.141.
