๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธHow to get a work visa in United States

Most foreign professionals work in the US on an H-1B visa, which is capped and allocated by lottery. Since September 2025 new H-1B petitions for people outside the US carry a $100,000 fee, so many employers now prefer transfers or other routes.

Questions

Does the $100,000 H-1B fee apply to everyone?

As published, it applies to new petitions for workers outside the US. Changes of status and transfers inside the US are treated differently. Check the latest USCIS guidance.
