On September 19, 2025, the President issued a Proclamation that temporarily halts decisions on new H-1B petitions and bans entry of certain H-1B workers, unless a $100,000 fee is paid. The Proclamation took effect September 21, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. EDT for twelve months (with the possibility of an extension).
While the language of the Proclamation appeared to apply to all H-1B workers who are outside of the United States on or after the effective date, the government has since provided guidance clarifying that it only applies to all new H-1B petitions filed on or after September 21, 2025.
