The Trump administration is expanding its crackdown on the H-1B visa programme, with the US Labour Department investigating alleged fraud, worker exploitation and other abuses. Labour Department Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito says the foreign-labour visa system could look very different within a year, as investigators issue subpoenas and execute search warrants. A new Trump executive order directs agencies to consider recent or planned layoffs when reviewing applications and alleges abuse involving outsourcing firms and worker replacement. The administration has also extended a $100,000 payment requirement for certain H-1B petitions involving workers outside the U.S. Meanwhile, a proposed $103,265 fee has triggered an industry-backed analysis of potential federal revenue losses. --- H-1B Visa | Trump Administration | H-1B Crackdown | US Labour Department | H-1B Fraud | H-1B Workers | Foreign Workers | H-1B Visa Changes | H-1B Fee | H-1B Investigations | US Immigration | Trump I
