Ex-envoy Bhadrakumar says H-1B Visa fee hike not India-centric
Ambassador MK Bhadrakumar says the $100,000 H-1B visa fee is driven by US domestic politics, not India-specific targeting. Clarified as a one-time charge for new applicants, he notes the policy reflects Trump's MAGA agenda, while India's IT industry and remittances remain impacted but are secondary to US priorities.
