In light of new restrictions on H-1B visas set to take effect at midnight on September 21, 2025, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have alerted their employees abroad to return to the US immediately. Leaked memos indicate that individuals holding H-1B status will face a mandatory $100,000 fee for reentry, raising significant concerns about the implications for workers and their families. The companies have expressed regret over the limited notice and are committed to offering support and updates as the situation evolves. Employees currently in the US are advised to remain in the country and avoid international travel until further clarification is provided. The new regulations are part of a broader shift in immigration policy that could impact many skilled workers.
