This fee hike is part of the US Labour Department's 'Project Firewall' to safeguard job opportunities for US residents, aligning with the 'America First' agenda. Indians, who account for about 70% of all H-1B visa recipients, will be most affected. The fee increase will impact Indian IT consultancies such as Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, making it expensive to outsource junior or mid-level staff to the US.
