Re:$100K fee added to H1B applications on Friday September 19, 2025 @11:49PM (#45310173)
It's not just for new petitions, it's a requirement for _entry_ into the US. So, someone on an _existing_ H1, just traveling out of the country means you need to pay $100K to re-enter the US.
Had the same requirements, I used the DXR-8 PRO from Infant Optics.

Full context is better --

> When using digital media (PDF, photo, etc.) imports and/or uploads on FreeTaxUSA.com, any information submitted by the customer through this service may be processed using automated (AI) and/or manual (human) methods. The information given may be used to improve and develop and train our artificial intelligence and other machine learning models. We implement robust safeguards in our use of AI to maintain security and compliance, ensuring sensitive information is protected and handled responsibly. Any sensitive information is anonymized or excluded from use. We do not share customer data or trained AI models with any third party.

In other words, if you don't use features like PDF, photo upload, there's no AI use.

(long time meat eater turned vegetarian)

It's pretty simple - I really enjoy fake meat for the taste, texture and protein. It also lets me go out to places that would traditionally only have meat options like a burger joint.

SO likes it because she's religiously vegetarian but can incorporate more protein into her diet.
