TL;DR
The U.S. just slapped a $100K surcharge on new H-1B visas, effectively making it way more expensive for companies to hire foreign coders. That means tighter budgets, fewer sponsorship slot s, and potentially more leverage for American developers—or at least a more competitive market.
For non-U.S. engineers, landing an H-1B is suddenly costlier and less certain, so you might rethink relocation plans or beef up your remote-work pitches. Bottom line: employers will get choosy, domestic talent could see a boost, and overseas applicants need to adapt fast.
