TEMPORARY H-1B VISA FEE INCREASE.—Not- withstanding section 281 of the Immigration and Nation-ality Act (8 U.S.C. 1351) or any other provision of law, during the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this section and ending on September 30, 2025, the combined filing fee and fraud prevention and detection fee required to be submitted with an application for admission as a nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b)), including an application for an extension of such status, shall be increased by $4,000 for applicants that employ 50 or more employees in the United States if more than 50 percent of the applicant’s employees are nonimmigrants described in section 101(a)(15)(L) of such Act.



I'd be really interested to know what businesses in the United States have more than half of its employees here on H-1B visas.


Companies like Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro who provide our country with tens of thousands of the world's greatest minds to maintain enterprise applications for about $70,000 a year.
