Trump Effect: Harvard And Stanford Facing Music!

The Donald Trump Effect is very much real in the United States and we are witnessing a whole lot of reforms regarding the same. The U.S. government under President Donald Trump has announced a new $100,000 one-time fee for every new H-1B visa application.

This fee will not affect people who already hold H-1B visas or those applying for renewals. However, it will make hiring new foreign workers, researchers, and professors much more expensive.

Top universities like Harvard and Stanford are expected to be hit hard by this decision. These institutions depend heavily on international talent for teaching and research.

Every year, they hire hundreds of faculty members and postdoctoral researchers through the H-1B program. Now, the added visa cost could run into millions of dollars.

At the same time, these universities are also facing funding freezes from the federal government, which makes the situation even more difficult.

Experts warn that this policy may discourage universities and companies from hiring skilled workers from abroad. It could also reduce opportunities for international students who hope to build a career in the United States.

Many fear that the U.S. may lose its global edge in research and innovation if talent begins moving to other countries with easier visa rules. This decision is already drawing criticism from universities, industries, and foreign governments.
