$100k H-1B fee not for stay extensions, status changes: US
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|October 22, 2025
WASHINGTON: The US government exempted foreign students from its controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee on Monday, bringing relief to thousands of graduates — including from India who make up among the largest cohorts in American colleges who feared employers would abandon sponsorship plans due to the prohibitive cost.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services clarified on its website that the new fee applies only to H-1B petitions involving individuals outside the US, meaning foreign students already in America can transition from F-1 student visas to H-1B work visas without triggering the charge.
