The weekend brought relief for thousands of Indians on H-1B visas after President Trump’s proclamation initially sparked panic by announcing a $100,000 fee on petitions. Clarifications shared by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and later by the US Embassy in India, confirmed the fee applies only to new H-1B petitions from the next lottery cycle, not current visa holders or renewals. This announcement eased chaos at Indian airports where professionals had rushed to return before the supposed deadline. Legal experts also reassured that existing H-1B employees and approved petitions remain unaffected. With clarity in place, immigration lawyers now have more breathing room to guide clients. New India Abroad continues tracking updates closely for the Indian diaspora.
