Group 1 - The analysis by JPMorgan economists indicates that the White House's proposed $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications could lead to a reduction of up to 5,500 immigrant work permits issued monthly [1] - Approximately two-thirds of H-1B visa approvals in FY2024 are for computer-related occupations, with about 71% of these visas granted to applicants from India [1] - Revelio Labs' economist suggests that the fee increase could effectively abolish the H-1B system, potentially resulting in a loss of up to 140,000 new jobs annually for U.S. companies reliant on foreign talent [1] Group 2 - Bloomberg Economics estimates that the policy change will primarily reallocate visa resources to high-paying sectors such as technology, finance, and healthcare, while squeezing lower-paying fields like education [2] - The existing H-1B workforce is expected to remain stable in the short term, as the new fee applies only to first-time applications and not to renewals [2] - The broader impact of the policy remains uncertain, with potential opportunities for U.S. workers but also risks of jobs being moved overseas if they are no longer viable domestically [2]
