The rollout of President Donald Trump’s plan to charge highly skilled foreign workers $100,000 for visas was not smooth. The announcement caused some companies and lawyers to urge visa holders currently outside the U.S. to immediately return. “H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would.”But the questions didn’t stop there. In 2004, Congress raised the cap on the number of H-1B visa holders that can be approved each year to 85,000 through the lottery system. But employers such as universities and most non-profit hospitals do not have to go through the lottery system to sponsor H-1B visa applicants.
