Trump to Add New $100k Fee for H-1B Visas in Latest Crackdown

"Plans to". After enough bribes have been paid, this will be dropped. I will bet cash on this.

so this pretty much kills the H-1B. How will it impact existing visa holders?

It’s too soon to know, but this could make 3-year H-1B renewals hugely problematic. That would be a major blow to the program. I was fortunate to get mine in 2014 without a single problem. There’s no way I’d expect someone to get through this process today. And realistically, most companies aren’t going to pay such a large premium just for a typical software engineer.
