Sep 18, 2026·Location: Washington, DC
President Trump extended a $100,000 payment requirement for employers seeking to hire certain H-1B workers, keeping the policy in place through September 2027. The administration says the rule has reduced reliance on lower-paid foreign labor, though it faces opposition from major companies and remains contested in federal court in Massachusetts.
