The average salary for a first-time H1B visa holder in 2025 is typically between $90,000 and $115,000, depending on occupation and experience level, with entry-level tech roles averaging around $90,000-$115,000 and the overall median for new H1B holders near $115,000.

Charging companies $100k for an H1B visa doubles the salary of the new employee, and makes 90% of them unhireable.

This is a ridiculous plan. I would think H1B holders would be at the top of the list for non-family US immigration. What's a better immigrant than a person with a high level high paying US job? Not many.

It’s a one time fee. A White House official told Business Insider on Saturday that the fee will only apply to new applicants, not current lawful H-1B visa holders.

"This is a one-time fee that applies only to the petition," a White House official told Business Insider in an email. "It ONLY applies to new visas, not renewals or current visa holders. It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle."
