特朗普政府对H-1B签证征收每年10万美元费用

摘要

总统唐纳德·特朗普签署公告,推出每年10万美元的H-1B签证申请费,显著增加雇佣外国技术工人的企业成本。

总统唐纳德·特朗普签署公告,推出每年10万美元的H-1B签证申请费,显著增加雇佣外国技术工人的企业成本。

H-1B签证项目允许美国公司在技术和工程等专业领域雇佣外国工人。新费用相比之前约1700美元至4500美元的申请费用大幅提升。

商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克表示,此举预计将减少发放的H-1B签证数量,他称:“这已经不再经济实惠。”

包括亚马逊、微软和谷歌在内的主要科技公司历来是H-1B项目的主要受益者。新费用预计将对这些依赖该项目填补高技能职位的公司产生重大影响。

除了提高H-1B费用外,政府还推出了“金卡”签证,为能够投资100万美元的个人提供通往美国公民身份的途径。还计划推出需要投资500万美元的“铂金卡”签证,但需等待国会批准。

这些新政策可能面临法律挑战,批评者认为如此大幅的费用增加和新签证类别可能需要国会批准。分析人士指出,这些措施可能会阻碍技术移民,影响美国经济的竞争力。
