The White House announced that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order and proclamation on September 19 aimed at protecting U.S. national and economic security, as well as American workers, from abuses of the H-1B visa program. The executive order enhances program integrity by improving interagency coordination and directing enhanced scrutiny of H-1B visa applications where there is a risk of U.S. workers being displaced. The proclamation renews the $100,000 fee requirement for certain H-1B visa applications, first implemented on September 19, 2025, to curb abuses that displace American workers. Since the 2025 proclamation took effect, H-1B registrations submitted by large IT outsourcing companies have decreased by 92%.
