  1. Oh look, another "groundbreaking" exposé on how the H1B visa turned into an all-you-can-eat buffet for Indians 🇮🇳. Apparently, it's not just a visa; it's a Bollywood blockbuster of chain migration and backdoor deals 🎬. Who knew that a footnote in the 1990 Immigration Act would become the Great Indian Dream with a side of indentured servitude? 🙄

  3. Luke Fountain reports a controversial H-1B visa fee is back in the spotlight! The Trump administration is appealing a ruling that previously blocked its $100,000 H-1B visa fee, which a judge deemed an unlawful tax without Congressional approval. This policy caused significant strain on tech firms and halted various programs. Learn more about the potential impact of this appeal. cnbc.com/2026/06/11/trump-h1b- #H1BVisa #Immigration #TechIndustry #USPolitics

  10. CW: H-1B US visa question

    There is a #Trump proclamation (few months old) that imposes an additional fine ($100k) for applying to a new H1-B visa (the type that is used a lot by researchers).

    Does anyone know for sure (with a source please) if this applies to those who are already in the US (for any reason, e.g. you were on a different visa or you are in the grace period of a visa)?

    The original proclamation is here and doesn't mention exceptions for already being in the country, just that it doesn't apply to H-1B renewals...

  14. Another day, another H-1B visa 'loophole' making life harder for tech startups trying to snag top talent.

    It's almost like someone enjoys playing Jenga with the global talent pool. How do you see this impacting the future of tech?

  15. Positive Sicht 🔍 Altman sieht in den neuen Regeln eine #Chance, #Talente schneller ins Land zu holen.

    Große Abhängigkeit 🌍 Besonders #Fachkräfte aus #Indien und #China sind betroffen, die bisher den Großteil der #H1BVisa stellten.

  16. US-Visa sollen demnächst 100.000 Dollar kosten.

    Trumps Visa-Schock 💰 Präsident #Trump hat die Gebühr für #H1BVisa auf 100.000 Dollar angehoben, was Tech- und Finanzunternehmen unter Druck setzt.

    Reaktionen der CEOs 🗣️ #Nvidia-Chef Jensen Huang und #OpenAI-CEO Sam Altman begrüßten die Änderungen.

  17. The #Trump administration proposed overhauling the #H1Bvisa process, prioritising #higherpaid and skilled foreign workers. This change, coupled with a proposed $100,000 fee on new applications, aims to incentivise employers to offer #higherwages and skilled positions. The proposal, which faces a 30-day public comment period, could significantly impact companies relying on lower-wage H-1B workers, particularly in the #techindustry. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump #tech #media #news

  18. The proposed $100,000 fee for #H1Bvisa applications could disproportionately #harm #startups, making it harder for them to secure foreign talent. This could lead to reduced #entrepreneurship and #venturecapital funding, as startups often rely on #H1Bworkers to scale and innovate. The uncertainty surrounding the visa programme might also encourage skilled workers to consider opportunities in other countries like the #UK and #Europe. cnbc.com/2025/09/23/startups-a #Pirates #Tech #Startup #News

  19. For most of my 30 year career in Information Technology in the USA, I've been concerned about H1B visa workers replacing me, or at least pushing wages down. So, you might think I'd be in favor of POTUS47's H1B visa changes.

    Too few characters here to get into the full story, but the short answer is, no. Making it harder to hire H1B visas will long-term push more jobs overseas where they will be completely unattainable by myself.

    I wonder how long it will be before #tRump charges folks £5000 or £10,000 to visit the USofA...

  21. #Trump’s new $100,000 #H1Bvisa fee is causing concern among #startupleaders and #venturecapitalists. They argue that the fee will make it difficult for #startups to hire skilled foreign workers, potentially driving talent to other countries. The policy is expected to face legal challenges and its implementation remains uncertain. geekwire.com/2025/startup-lead #tech #media #news

  22. Putting tarrifs on goods can be of minimum harm as goods are replaceable. Human intelligence, skill and knowledge are irreplaceable and hiking tarrif on H-1B Visa fees can actually backfire US itself. #H1BVisa #h1bvisa #H1B #DonaldTrump #Trump #USVisa #Visa #Immigration #USA #US

  23. At the first sign of trouble, the bourgeoisie of the global north has thrown the bourgeoisie of the global south under the bus.

    That, in short, is the story of #H1BVisa.

  24. Do they really think employers want to go through visa applications etc. if there were actually qualified American candidates?

    (Rhetorical — of course they don't care either way, so long as they can get in a jingoistic soundbite)

    Maybe a better strategy would be to invest in education in this country (rather than the current destruction)
