In recent days, a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy has sent waves through global business and talent strategies. New H-1 B visa fees are expected to increase to $100,000 for new petitions, and this change is forcing companies to reconsider how they hire and expand.
For many firms, especially those in tech, SaaS, or B2B services, paying such high visa costs is simply not realistic. The financial weight of a $100,000 fee can strain budgets that are already stretched by salaries, compliance, and market competition. Yet, the demand for growth persists. Product teams need to innovate, sales organisations must fill pipelines, marketing has to capture attention, and customer success cannot pause.
