This improves chances for many.

Large tech companies can afford 100K per highly skilled employee. Smaller employers in other fields will suffer the most IMHO.

Def. Those borderline cases where someone is trying to convince a business to sponsor them, go out of the window for sure. Will def be a hell of a lot fewer offers - but stronger, prepared ones

President Trump on Friday signed an executive order to set up a new visa pathway for expedited treatment, with a fee of $1 million for individuals and $2 million for a corporation to speed up the process of allowing employees to work in the U.S. legally.

 

I remember USCIS wanting larger fees a few years ago and fighting Congress to get the changes so why is Congress not the one requesting this.  they are suppose to be in charge
