Ridgewood NJ, a new proclamation from the Trump administration is set to drastically change the H-1B visa program, introducing a hefty $100,000 fee for many companies hiring temporary foreign workers. The administration’s move is based on the argument that the H-1B program, originally created to bring in highly skilled, specialized workers, has been “deliberately exploited” to replace American workers with lower-paid labor.
