Watch the full episode for more about:

– The massive loophole that lets 80% of H-1B applicants skip the $100,000 fee entirely

– Why the new wage system could give more visa slots to experienced acupuncturists than fresh AI PhD grads making $200K

– Why universities and national labs are stuck in limbo, knowing they have to pay but not knowing how

    Raising the H-1B visa cost to $100K will curb cheap labor abuse taken by many large multinationals, and ensure only high-value, specialized talent enters the U.S. workforce. The added revenue will fund STEM education and upskilling programs, strengthening domestic talent and restoring fairness in the labor market. You’re welcome. Thank you Trump administration.

      Did you hear that there is a uncapped H1-B as well where they bring in people as professors and researchers in national labs? How will they sustain the 100k fee. These places barely pay 80k annually.
