New US H-1B visa fee policy makes hiring international students easier and cheaper for employers: Here's how
A recent US immigration policy change announced on October 20, 2025, has eased the path for international students. From the 2026 H-1B visa cycle, employers must pay a $100,000 fee to hire foreign workers from abroad, but not for F-1 visa holders already in the US. The move encourages companies to hire graduates trained within the country, strengthening the link between education and employment.
