Story summary

On September 19, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that imposed a $100,000 fee on any U.S. company seeking to hire foreign specialists through the H-1B visa program. This move, made in what was described as a "Friday night news dump," significantly impacted immigration lawyers like Florida-based Jamile Pellicer, who termed it one of her worst professional days. The executive order aims to restrict the entry of foreign workers into specialist roles within domestic companies by placing an unprecedented financial burden on employers applying for H-1B visas.
