Nvidia to Sponsor H-1B Visas
Analysis based on 12 articles · First reported Oct 07, 2025 · Last updated Oct 08, 2025
The new H-1B visa fees imposed by Donald Trump's administration could increase operational costs for technology companies like Nvidia, potentially affecting their profitability and ability to attract global talent. However, Nvidia's commitment to cover these fees mitigates direct negative impact on its stock price, but the broader policy could still affect the US technology sector's competitiveness.
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, significantly curtailing the program. This move, defended by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as a way to prioritize American workers, has drawn criticism and a lawsuit from various groups. Despite these changes, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has reassured employees that Nvidia will continue to sponsor H-1B visas and cover all associated costs, emphasizing the vital role of immigration in the company's success and the United States' technological leadership. The policy primarily affects new applicants, not existing visa holders or those who applied before September 21.
