Satya Nadella of Microsoft and Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, moved to the United States on the H-1B visa program, as did Indra Nooyi, who ran PepsiCo from 2006 to 2018.

On Friday, President Trump announced that every new H-1B application would come with a $100,000 price tag, a huge rise from the few thousands of dollars it cost before, sowing distress and confusion among workers and employers. The fee, which took effect on Sunday, has upended the system’s long-term prospects, not least for workers in India, who have long accounted for a majority of H-1B holders.

Any non-American who meets certain criteria is eligible for the visa — provided they bring “a body of highly specialized knowledge” needed by a U.S. employer — but Indians are in a league of their own. They won 71 percent of H-1B visas in the 2024 lottery, and a similar proportion since the program started in 1990. Applicants from China are a distant second, accounting for about 12 percent of the visas.

There were more than 300,000 Indians working in the United States on an H-1B visa as of 2024. They, along with their spouses and children, made up about a tenth of all Indian-origin people who reside in the country legally. Possibly millions of Indian Americans, including many living in India, owe their U.S. citizenship to their own or their parents’ use of the program.

A professional from India who has been working on Wall Street under a series of H-1Bs for more than a dozen years, but was not authorized to speak publicly, said that he started with a job that paid less than $80,000 a year, though he now earned much more. His guess was that there would be significantly fewer applications for people like him.

If anything salaried for H1Bs will decline. More people competing for ultimately fewer spots. The lower the salary the worker accepts, the higher the chance that the difference between the value they generate and their salary will be over $100k, making it economical for companies to fund H1Bs.

"Other parts of South India that benefited from the era of relatively cheap H-1B visas could be hit harder. Anna University in Chennai and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad were awarded hundreds of visas for their graduates every year, even more than the country’s prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology."

At this very moment, Modi’s India is getting swamped with cheap Chinese goods that China can no longer send to America so it’s dumping on India. China is wiping out India’s domestic industry while pushing Indian soldiers off cliffs while they take Indian land. If there’s anyone bending over, I think we both know who it is. Didn’t Pakistan just bend India over recently too?

Offshoring the jobs to India instead is fine, at least it doesn't result in millions of Indians coming here.

Stock Gain: Since Nadella became CEO, Microsoft's stock has seen a staggering increase. Multiple sources cite a gain of over 900%, with some reporting it has even surpassed 1,000% at times.

Stock Gain: Since Pichai took the helm at Google, Alphabet's stock has also seen a significant rise, more than doubling and at times adding over $1 trillion to its market value.
