The effect of the $100,000 H1 Visa Fee is at the level of atomic bomb. The White House at once come out to clarify that it only affects new applicants and no existing applicants. The fee will only pay once by the employer for new visa and no need to pay on re-entry.
The fact is that when an employer is willing to pay a fee of $100,000 for a staff, he won’t be a basic worker of assembling the iPhone parts, at least should be a designer of the parts thereof. That means would not be medium or basic level, at least high level or expert level. This would be a hindrance for those professional experts. Apparently, other medium level companies are unable to pay even if they are willing to develop. So, what would happen? Production line will be shifted to Canada or Europe as what is said in the last but 3 sentences on page 5. But I think Canada will be most benefitted because of geographical location. Europe is the second one.
I have already said PLTR is going to develop their business in the UK and the price is rebounding to $183.43 now. That is why I said on Monday there are some stocks can buy at any level and PLTR is among them.
Of course, Big Tech (GOOG, META) can absorb it as said on lower part of page 3, but not startups and small companies. Please study well the comments of Grok and Copilot and should place a longer plan to face this atomic bomb explosion in US.
But market is still near record high, please watch the Market Observation!
