New H-1B Visa Rules: One-Time Fee Does Not Apply to Renewals and Current Holders

White House Spokesperson Clarifies the New Rule on the $100,000 Fee for H-1B:

1. This is not an annual fee. It is a one-time fee applicable only to the application.

2. Those who already hold H-1B visas but are currently overseas will not be charged $100,000 to re-enter the United States.

H-1B visa holders can still freely enter and exit the United States as usual; their original rights to enter and exit the country will not be affected by the presidential proclamation issued yesterday.

3. The rule applies only to new visas, not to renewals or existing visa holders.

It will first apply to the next upcoming lottery cycle.
