Trump proposes new H-1B visa process favoring higher-skilled, better-paid workers
[]

The Trump administration said on Friday it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B visas.
Trump, a Republican, sought to reshape the H-1B process during his 2017-2021 presidency, but was stymied by federal courts and limited time at the end of his presidency.
An estimated 5,200 small businesses that currently receive H-1B visas would suffer a significant economic impact due to loss of labor, DHS said.
The program’s supporters include Elon Musk, a naturalized US citizen born in South Africa, who has himself held an H-1B visa.
The H-1B program offers 65,000 visas annually to employers bringing in temporary foreign workers in specialized fields, with another 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees.
