US President Donald Trump has changed the H-1B visa rules, which will affect Indians the most. Regarding this, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that India has a weak Prime Minister.
Let us tell you that US President Donald Trump signed an announcement on Friday (19 September 2025), under which the H1B visa fee will be increased to US $ 100,000 annually. According to PTI report, Trump’s move is expected to adversely affect Indian professionals working in the US. White House Staff Secretary Wil Sharf said that H1B non-resident visa program is one of the most misused visa systems in the country’s current immigration system.
On the case, US President Donald Trump said that this allows those high skilled workers to come to the US who work in areas where American does not work. The Trump administration said that a fee of $ 100,000 has been levied to ensure that people being brought to the country are really highly skilled and do not replace American workers. The move aims to protect American workers and to ensure that the way is cleared for companies to really appoint extraordinary people and bring them to America. Trump signed the manifesto at the Oval Office in the presence of Commerce Minister Howard Lutnik, saying, “We need workers, we need excellent workers and this will ensure that it is so.”
Commerce Minister Howard Lutnik said that under the employment based green card program, 281,000 people get admission per year and they earn an average of US $ 66,000 per year and their association of involvement in government aid programs is five times more. He said, “So we were recruiting the lower IV Quartile Class, below the average American. It was irrational, the only country in the world that was recruiting the lower fourth class. ”
Lutnik said, “We are going to stop doing so, we will take only extraordinary people at the top and not those who are trying to snatch jobs from Americans.” They will start business and create jobs for Americans.
