Wharfie, the TACO Supreme Commander once again takes another step back from his crazy protectionism: ***** Huge relief for Indian techies, students as US announces exemptions to H-1B visa fees (Hindustan Times) In a major relief for thousands of Indian professionals and students in the United States, the Trump administration has clarified that recent international graduates sponsored for H-1B status while already in the country will not be required to pay the steep $100,000 fee introduced last month. Officials had earlier also stated that existing H-1B visa holders will not be required to pay the fees announced last month. ***** That's actually excellent news for those on student visas, especially those here trying to get Master's degrees in order to qualify for the H-1B "master's edition." Not only is the fee waived for them, but I believe their chances of getting an H-1B visa just went up given that the competition just got reduced by a lot. Although in general I am very much against this st00pid-ass fee, I think the chaos of how TACO Trump initially introduced it has been mitigated by a lot. Tenchusatsu
