Trump's latest EO directs agencies to collect more data on H-1B applications and closely review employers for laying off American workers while seeking foreign replacements.

Trump has also renewed his original $100k fee while a separate $103k fee is proposed, and a $4k fee on certain H-1B extensions has taken effect. And the DHS plan to end the 60-day layoff grace period for work visas will include E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, and TN visas, who are expected to leave immediately upon losing their job.

That combined with the new fees and higher all-agencies-aboard scrutiny is a bureaucratic chokehold against foreign recruitment and Indian immigration.
