They backtracked even further on the new H-1B fees: not annual, not retroactive and not for renewals (twitter.com)

Looks like they took everything back and nothing really changes.

What are you talking about? 100k will be needed to be fronted just to petition a work visa from now on. It's essentially the end of the growth of H1B's aside from individuals exceptional enough to warrant that kind of expense.

Stopping the hemorrhage is a huge win. It's certainly a lot more than I expected when I first read about the number.

The visa fee is paid by the visa sponsor.

And can be written off as tax deduction.

And $100k over 5-10 years doesn’t even matter to these companies.

100k over 5 years doesnt matter? Saving money on that order of magnitude is most of the reason they were mass importing pajeets in the first place. They are trying to save money by importing slaves that would work for less.

Paying an American $90k a year vs a jeet $60k a year, that $100k will be absorbed in the difference in no time.
