The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The invalidation of the $100,000 H-1B visa fee offers temporary relief for U.S. businesses like Kishore Khandavalli's, which rely heavily on H-1B workers; however, an appeal from the Trump administration creates continued uncertainty over future talent acquisition and could lead businesses to consider moving operations overseas if the fee is reinstated.
