Will Trump’s $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee Crush Indian IT Giants And Push US Jobs Offshore?

America’s H-1B visa system is heading for its biggest shake-up yet. President Donald Trump’s proposal to impose a record $100,000 fee on H-1B visas threatens to disrupt global IT staffing, deal a major blow to Indian tech giants like TCS, Infosys and Cognizant, and potentially push jobs offshore. While the move is projected as a measure to protect American workers, critics warn it could instead restrict access to global tech talent and fundamentally reshape where and how the world’s technology workforce is hired. Is this the end of the easy US work visa era?
