A $100,000 fee on H1B visas is a good move because it aims to curb the H1B contracting companies that charge individuals a specific percentage of their hourly rate.
This fee is not applicable to individuals who are already in the United States (such as students) and have their petitions filed within the country.

Sounds like OP is a recent Green card convert who posts July 4th pictures with American flag on family groups.

This is the kind of arrogance that has turned white collar workers against h1bs and Indians in general. You’re in America what’s wrong in assimilating and raising the American flag on July 4th? Instead you’d rather stand out like a sore thumb. If America is so bad then why not just leave already.

There’s no language in the proclamation that distinguishes this. If you put the proclamation into ChatGPT, it will hallucinate and tell you this. I know because I tried. If you believe otherwise, paste the exact language you believe it shows that fees are not applicable to individuals who are already in the US.

Those who are bashing me- I am also an H1b guy working one of the consulting companies. This is based on legal interpretations.
If I am wrong, basically US innovation is over, startups are killed. That was the reason I thought he won’t take such a drastic decision.
Most of the startups can’t afford 100k fees. This is a disaster then.

What is the source of the information that folks in the US with existing H1Bs will not be impacted during renewal / job change?

And you know this how?

I did, and hence the question

like

Maybe read the order first. It’s not a law. They can be waived as per discretion of the president. This is another ploy to control companies with massive government intervention. So your assumption will be flipped to whatever Trump likes tomorrow. You think this is some well thought out legislation that says that ?

How can people be so naive here

Is it going to apply to extensions/transfers as well?

Lol. This rules won't stop body shops which brings utter low quality staff from select state in southern India. They will ask their employees to pay 100k. It's like paying 20k extra as tax over 5 yrs. This rules impact more to people from WITCH companies. Their employers will have to pay these fees. Tech companies from valley will pay extra fees to keep h1bs. They can't find so many "talented" US citizens in short time. In fact this new rule will drive more illegal work done by body shoppers. They got one more way to circumvent rules and place unqualified staff in US. No gora understand all these tricks employed by biggest fraudster who are the body shops running out of Dallas, NJ and CA

To be clear:

1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.

2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.

H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.

3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.

It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

Some Desi Managers / Desi consulting aka body shopping companies changed the scene forever with crooked tactics to make money. A few bad apples made adjacent ones rotten over a period of time.
At a State Govt client, a Desi manager has hired 6 women who are in H4 EAD, who doesn’t know a lick of the ERP software, hired them as BA’s, QA’s. One even went out of status for 2 months, when they got the H4 EAD renewed, an advt was made and closed within a day and offer was made !!! That person told me that they wanted to be a substitute teacher, but Govt job is better cos 2 days of this job is equal to 1 month of substitute teacher 😱
This is just ridiculous and have never came across like this 25 years ago !! T at least tries to do something though rash.
