Nigerians to feel the heat as Trump slams $100,000 annual fee on H1B visas

In recent months, Washington has introduced a $15,000 bond for some tourist and business visas and announced a travel ban on 12 countries.

US President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation imposing an annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications. This represents a significant increase from the current $1,500 administrative charge.

The H1B programme allows American companies to hire foreign workers in specialised fields such as medicine, technology and engineering. These visas are valid for three to six years.
