On Friday, President Trump issued a Proclamation that added a $100,000 fee for H-1B petitions. We are sharing what we know so far, and will update over the weekend in this evolving situation. The Proclamation was accompanied by a short "fact sheet" that did little to explain how the Proclamation would be implemented. We also understand that CBP, DOS and USCIS officers were not given advance notice, guidance or training. This Proclamation will be challenged in court quickly.

More details are below, but for now we recommend that:

  • Any H-1B holder who is now outside the U.S. can try to come back before midnight Sunday morning when the Proclamation takes effect. We realize this will be disruptive or impossible for some. If you do not come back to the U.S. today, please do not plan to travel Sunday or early next week until we have more guidance.
