Trump will introduce the mandatory payment of one hundred thousand dollars to obtain H-1B visas

Washington.- The president of the United States, Donald Trump, plans to introduce a mandatory payment of one hundred thousand dollars as a requirement to obtain the H-1B visa for qualified professionals, according to information shared this Friday by the spokesperson for the White House, Karoline Leavitt.

Leavitt shared on the social network X a report from today by the Bloomberg agency in which it is stated that the US Government is going to demand said amount with the argument that the abuse in the requests and concessions of this work permit has limited the access of US citizens to certain jobs.

Trump would plan to include these requirements in a proclamation that he could sign today, Friday, assures the article, which cites sources from the US government who claim anonymity. The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialized occupations and has been employed very frequently in recent years by companies in the technology sector such as, for example, those controlled by the magnate Elon Musk. According to the report, Trump would also be planning to ask the Secretary of Employment, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, to review the salary levels associated with the H-1B program, in order to prevent the salaries of American employees from being affected by downward cuts.
