Follow @jerryjhlee for more AI and job tips! Fewer work visas were supposed to mean more jobs for American workers. But there’s another possibility: companies can move some of those jobs overseas instead. The $100,000 H-1B fee sharply reduced affected filings, while companies continue expanding operations and hiring abroad. Critics have warned that making specialized foreign talent more expensive to hire in the U.S. could encourage more offshoring. And there’s an important update: the original $100,000 fee was struck down in federal court and is currently not being collected, although litigation continues. Restricting visas doesn’t necessarily mean those jobs automatically go to American workers. Companies can also move the work somewhere else.
