H-1B visa fees waived: A major change has been made to the H-1B visa process in the United States. Recently, US President Donald Trump issued an order on September 19, 2025, making it mandatory to pay an additional $100,000, or approximately Rs 83 lakh, on some H-1B visa applications. This new rule was to take effect on September 21, 2025, but now the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a new order stating that some individuals will not have to pay this fee. So, let’s find out who will not have to pay this H-1B visa fee.

Who will be subject to the H-1B visa fee?

First, let’s understand who will be subject to the $100,000 H-1B visa fee. This fee will apply to new H-1B visa applications filed on or after September 21, 2025. This fee will also apply to visa holders currently outside the United States seeking a visa to enter the United States. This fee will also apply in cases where consular or port of entry notifications are required.

Who will not be subject to the H-1B visa fee?

USCIS has also exempted certain individuals from this fee. Visa holders already in the United States will not be required to pay this fee. Furthermore, applications for a change of status, visa extension, or amendment will also be exempt. Furthermore, this fee will also be waived if the visa holder’s petition was filed before September 21.

In what circumstances will this fee be waived?

USCIS has clarified that this hefty fee will only be waived in extremely rare cases. This fee will be waived when the foreign employee’s presence in the United States is in the national interest, when no American citizen is available for the position, and the employee does not pose a security threat. Furthermore, this fee will also be waived if the imposition of this fee could harm American interests.
