The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued new guidance regarding former President Donald Trump"s order to restrict H-1B visa entry. Under the updated regulations, any existing H-1B visa holders will be subject to a $100,000 fee if their extension, re-application, or travel is denied.

This development adds a significant financial burden for current H-1B visa holders who may face complications in maintaining their status. The fee applies to both new applications and existing visas, reflecting the ongoing impact of the previous administration"s policies on immigration.
