Oh! This is unexpected, I thought it’s only for new applications, asking every h1b holder to pay 100k is just unfathomable. We will see thousands of layoffs and people moving out on an unimaginable scale.

They said at the signing that it was per year. No idea if it’s applicable to existing h1-b’s.

Where does that per year come from? I dont see it in the proclamation.

Apparently it's not per year. Total chaos. What a joke
