What the $100k H1B Visa Means for Software Engineers
The US government just slapped a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, and this video from DevLaunch breaks down who’s getting squeezed the hardest—spoiler: non-US devs chasing that American dream—and how US citizens and companies might feel the pinch too. Tim explains why budgets are about to get tighter, talent pipelines could shrink, and why you might rethink sponsorship or even consider remote or alternative visa routes.

Tim wraps up with no-nonsense tips on navigating this new visa maze without losing your bank account (or your mind).
