A new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas in the United States will go into effect on Sunday, affecting only new applicants. Existing visa holders re-entering the country will not be charged this fee. The White House clarified that the fee is a one-time charge per petition and aims to level the playing field for American workers.

There is still uncertainty about how the policy will handle H-1B holders who are outside the U.S. when it goes into effect. The White House said they will not be charged to re-enter.
