The Impact of Trump’s Proposed H-1B Visa Fee on the Tech Industry

(Reuters) – The Trump administration’s introduction of a substantial $100,000 fee for new H-1B visas, commonly used by technology companies to secure foreign talent, has significant implications for the industry, particularly those that heavily depend on skilled professionals from India and China. This move may pose substantial challenges for companies that have built their workforce around this essential visa program.

In light of this announcement, several prominent technology firms and financial institutions have cautioned their employees to consider staying in the United States or returning quickly to avoid potential visa complications. Notably, India remains the largest source of H-1B visas, with a staggering 71% of approved visas last year going to Indian nationals.

Insights from Industry Analysts

Experts in the field are voicing their concerns regarding the ripple effects of the proposed fee increase. Here are some key perspectives:

BENJAMIN JANG, Portfolio Manager at Nicola Wealth Management

“Tech companies are highly reliant on foreign skilled labor, and the imposition of this fee raises concerns over profit margins and operational disruptions in the near future. This change could restrict the number of talented individuals entering the U.S. job market, potentially creating a bottleneck effect that results in increased wage pressures.”

“In the long run, President Trump’s ultimate goal seems to be the acceleration of local hiring. While this may happen over time, it’s a long-term objective,” Jang added.

“In the medium term, however, U.S. technology firms might lose their competitive edge in global innovation as countries with more favorable immigration policies may attract top-tier talent away from America.”

COLIN SEBASTIAN, Analyst at Baird

“The new tax burden imposed by the administration could cost major corporations such as Amazon, Google, and Meta hundreds of millions, or even billions. An unintended consequence of this policy may be the deprivation of small and emerging U.S. businesses from qualified talent and might drive some companies to relocate research and engineering functions to international cities like Toronto, London, and Bangalore.”

DERREN NATHAN, Head of Equity Research, Hargreaves Lansdown

“While the H-1B visa program affects less than 1% of the U.S. workforce, it represents a critical segment that disproportionately drives innovation within the industry,” Nathan stated.

BERNSTEIN ANALYSTS

“The substantial increase in the H-1B visa application fee is likely to escalate pressure on companies to recruit domestic talent. We anticipate this shift will prompt a greater reliance on Generative AI and agentic AI technologies to offset potential salary increases caused by the looming scarcity of IT professionals. We foresee U.S.-based tech companies actively lobbying the administration to mitigate the impact of these changes.”

TD COWEN ANALYSTS

“This decision comes at an inopportune time for the Services sector, which is already grappling with ongoing cyclical pressures amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, in addition to structural challenges posed by Generative AI advancements. It particularly disadvantages major tech corporations and certain financial service firms, which are among the top users of the H-1B program.”
