The introduction of a $100,000 fee for H-1B work visas by U.S. President Donald Trump is set to accelerate the relocation of American corporate operations to India and other nations, according to analysts cited by Reuters on September 30. The move, described as the most significant overhaul of the U.S. temporary work visa system in history, has prompted companies to reassess their global strategies. Rohan Lobo, head of Deloitte India’s Global Opportunity Center sector, confirmed that multiple American firms are currently evaluating the feasibility of shifting production capabilities. The policy change, signed into law on September 20, aims to restrict foreign labor access but risks exacerbating talent and workforce outflows from the United States.
