In the last half of the year, the sudden introduction of various policies and regulations in the United States and the changes in the regulations have almost become commonplace, especially in terms of popular immigration policy, it can be called "once and for all, when it is new."
What is the most outrageous and repeated “New Government” of these two days? Of course, the H1B’s $100,000 policy is “outside the top”!How much shock and panic has this policy caused, and has it been dramatically changed again?
Let’s talk a lot today.

H1B $100,000 policy came out, China-US flight tickets exploded!
The start of the "shock attack" was three days ago, on September 19, 2025, Aegawa signed a presidential announcement.
BBC
The announcement stipulates that, starting at 0:01 AM on September 21, 2025, as long as the applicant is outside the United States and is prepared to enter the United States as a H-1B, The employer must pay an additional $100,000 for each employee.Otherwise, you will be denied a visa or prohibited from entering the country.
Once this "new regulation" was introduced, major American companies were simply in a state of frying pots.
The managers of the major companies, human resources departments immediately, urgently to the employees who just not in the United States (a lot of people are purely back home for a few days of vacation or to travel to other countries for a short period of a week or two) called the legendary "defeat series call", and does not care about the time difference, in short: H1B status employees, no matter where you are at this time in the country, must immediately, immediately, now, hurry back to me back to the United States, before zero on September 21 must be in the United States land, even if the airline ticket you have to buy!”
H1B owners are mostly Asians, especially Chinese and Indians. Between the nights, flights from China and India to the United States are on the rise. For example, from Shanghai to Los Angeles, the price of the economy class has reached more than RMB 1,70,000, and some flights you can't book more money, because it's already full and no seats at all.
A lot of people are on social media:
The Red Book.
Many people have just landed in China, want to reunite with their relatives, meet friends, visit famous mountains and rivers, and taste delicious food from all over the country. Some people even go back because of blind dates. However, as soon as the "new regulations" came out, all the planes just landed and flew back the same way!
Now in the social software search for those who just landed in the country immediately, immediately, now, the limit of returning to the United States of the manager posts, feelings, a search for a big:
The Red Book.
Look at the contents of these posts, basically the speed of life and death, the thrill, the heart, the fierce, the unfortunate ...
For example this table:
The Red Book.
Another example is the following, which creates a high amount of reading and discussion:
The Red Book.
The following one is also very special. It uses delicious food to vent helplessness and tactfully express one's heartfelt voice:
The Red Book.
There is also a post, which is very embarrassing just by looking at the title: “The home that cannot be returned and the life that is stuck...”
The Red Book.
There are many similar posts, so we won't cite them one by one. In short, life is difficult, and the life of high-tech talents is not easy these days.

Has there been a reversal and change in the new rules?
As mentioned above, after the release of the "new regulations", countless Asian employees who hold H1B visas and happen to be out of the United States made a mess and flew back to the United States. You know, the policy was released on September 19th, and people must come to the United States on September 21st. This is an extreme task for anyone.
As a result, after causing so much chaos, unrest, inconvenience and turmoil, the U.S. government rushed to speak again a day later to clarify the new regulations. This fee applies only to new applicants.Renewal or existing visa holders are not affected.
The White House said in a statement on social media that the new rules “will not affect any existing visa holders’ ability to travel to the United States.”
That is to say, those friends who gave up reunion with their parents and families, gave up vacations and food, and even gave up blind dates and spent sky-high air tickets to return to the United States overnight are all purely wasted!
New York Pass
That's why in the above sentiment post, one of the netizens received the news when they moved to Canada and just played in Canada.
However, after this toss and toss, too many big companies and their employees have become frightened birds, and no one will be optimistic anymore.
For example, Jacqueline Arthur, head of HR at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a memo to employees:
“We understand that this is uncertain for colleagues holding H-1B visas and their families,” said Goldman Sachs, who is working with a team of lawyers, “to study the specifics of the order after further details are disclosed and communicate with you in a timely manner.”

Furthermore, Bernhard Mueller, co-chairman of the Immigration Business Group at the Augusty Dickins law firm, said he had received numerous calls from corporate executives and board members asking about the new regulations and how to communicate with employees.
For many foreigners working in the United States, this “new rule” and similar “new rule” can be counted as: people sit at home, the evil comes from heaven – so that people do not adapt at all, not even knowing which one they are singing.
And the people who have formulated the "new rules" also have a reasonable explanation, let's see:
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted that the measure was intentional. The aim is to “stop people from stealing our jobs.”The U.S. commerce secretary explained that if big tech companies continue to recruit foreign employees, they will have to "pay the government $100,000 first and then pay the employees' salaries. This is not cost-effective."
Political magazine website
Trump has said since his first term that he wants to restrict H-1B visas to prioritize Americans.
Regarding this point, countless people immediately raised questions.
It is generally believed that the reason why Americans have been ahead of the world in science and technology in the past few decades and maintained a steady stream of innovation power for a long time is that it is precisely because it has attracted scientific and technological talents from all over the world, which has ensured the long-lasting prosperity of the United States. It can even be said that attracting global talent to the United States is the foundation of America's enduring prosperity, not one, to know that Musk from South Africa is also a beneficiary of H1B, and Einstein is also from Germany.
Speaking of "coming from Germany", these two days have a story:
Although technology companies are the most likely to obtain H-1B visas, the high charges in the new regulation will also affect H-1B visa holders in the medical, manufacturing and university sectors.
A 29-year-old software engineer holds a signed H-1B visa (which was originally planned to take effect within 20 days). On Saturday morning, when he lay on his bed in a Munich apartment, he realized that he might be trapped in Germany.
The Independent
The trapped talents are not only in Germany, but all over the world.
Therefore, some people say that in the long run, such a so-called New Deal is simply self-destructive!
In fact, we don't have to look at the long run, let's just look at the present:
If you want to kick out this group of Asians in America, large, small, and various technology companies, the huge damage to the American economy, technology, people's livelihood, culture and so on is near, instantaneous, do not have to wait for the "far future."
It could even turn the United States into a second-and third-rate country in just a few years.

Britain is too relaxed in this regard
After looking at the “new rules” of the “beautiful country” of America, let’s look at the changes in Britain—in contrast, the latter is obviously too loose.
Let's not talk about it before, just talk about this year-2025.
The UK’s immigration policy can be continuously developed and optimized, and there are certain categories of stable visas for, tech professionals and entrepreneurs who want to establish themselves in the UK.
In fact, as early as February 19, 2020, the British interior minister said the government wanted to encourage people with the right talents (to come to the UK) and reduce the number of low-skilled workers coming to the UK.
She added that the new immigration system will ensure Britain has a high-tech, highly skilled and highly productive economic model in the future.
Studying in UK
On this side of the UK, although because of the issue of immigration, it is really necessary to implement the policy, it is also gradual. It usually has to be first with a verbal debate,Anyway, give the public a little psychological expectation, the enterprise can also have a buffer. Even if the final result is not as pleasant, but at least not as suddenly shut down, scare everyone.
Although this year's work visa threshold has increased anything, it is still more gentle to feel than the US company to hire a foreigner, having to pay up to $ 100,000 before the operation, at least not to scare everyone to buy tickets back overnight.
This kind of policy is never static. Today the wind goes east, and tomorrow it may turn in a different direction, especially our Laochuan policy. Of course, for ordinary people, every adjustment of the general environment may become a weight on their shoulders-the so-called "a grain of ash of the times is a mountain when it falls on an individual's head".
But from another perspective, anxiety can not solve the problem, make good intentions in advance, but can get a little more stress when the winds come, anyway, we can only calm down and have a good day.
