    I'm still hung up on how the $100K requirement for H1B visas is extended to Sep '27. The US has always been, is and will likely continue to be a magnet for the brightest out there to come and work. Why hamper it?

      The $100K fee only applies to H1B applicants who are outside the US. Many are already here on student visas and the like.

      More worrying to me is that enrollment of foreign students is down 10% in 2026-7.
