Washington, D.C. President Trump has issued a Presidential Proclamation on September 19th, 2025 seeking to restrict entry of skilled H-1B workers into the U.S. with a hefty $100,000 H-1B entry fee. While it is still unclear under what authority the government is trying to re-write the H-1B laws and regulations with the President Trump’s Presidential Proclamation on H-1B but from the reading of the Proclamation and its Factsheets the restrictions appear to apply to specific group to persons as outlined below. The government will likely start enforcing it starting September 21st, 2025.
The Executive Action will surely face a legal challenge and the Courts will have a final say about its validity.
