Regarding the September 19, 2025, Trump Administration Proclamation announcing a $100,000 fee for H-1B's, USCIS and CBP added that the proclamation only applies to new petitions filed September 21, 2025, or later.

H-1B Employers and Employees should note:

1. H1B extensions of stay inside the US are exempt from the proclamation according to USCIS. However, we are awaiting explicit confirmation that an H-1B change of employer, change of status, and amended petitions are exempt.

2. Travel outside of the US for visa processing/renewals will be impacted, so H-1B workers should refrain from all travel outside the continental US until implementation of the fee is further clarified.

3. This year's H-1B lottery beneficiaries with approved petitions and a valid H-1B visa, should seek to enter the US as soon as possible.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The Trump Administration issued a Proclamation restricting entry to the US (as well as H-1B decisions for those outside the US) without payment of a $100,000 fee. Until further information is available, we strongly recommend any H-1B visa holder cancel travel plans outside the continental US and remain in the US.

For those outside the US with a valid H-1B visa, it may be wise to return to the US if they can do so by Saturday September 20th Eastern US Time (the effective date of the proclamation). We will provide more details when we have them.
