In addition, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued guidance clarifying that the Presidential Proclamation does not restrict the entry of current H-1B visa holders.
Quick HitsOn September 20, 2025, USCIS issued guidance on the new Presidential Proclamation requiring a $100,000 payment for new H-1B visa petitions filed after September 20, 2025, while clarifying that current H-1B visa holders are not subject to this payment or any new travel restrictions.
The USCIS memorandum specifies that the proclamation does not affect H-1B employees with pending petitions filed before September 21, 2025, those with approved and valid H-1B petitions, or those with valid, unexpired H-1B visas.
The USCIS director states that the proclamation does not impact the ability of any current H-1B visa holder to travel to or from the United States.
It does not impact H-1B petitions filed or approved prior to September 21, 2025, or individuals in possession of a valid H-1B visa.
