Big Tech companies Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet are among those warning employees that hold a H-1B visa to avoid travelling and stay in the US, as new program rules come into effect. This will see an $100,000 annual fee added to applications. The rule has created a level of uncertainty for employees and employers, with many companies warning that leaving the country could be detrimental to H-1B holders’ positions in the US. As one of the most frequent users of the H-1B visa program, the tech industry could suffer from these changes in the long run, as they fail to grab the best talent due to fees and employees look for roles elsewhere in the world.
