Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has assured his staff that the company continue to sponsor H-1B visas and cover all related costs for the applications. A report by Business Insider cites Huang’s note to employees. He wrote, “As one of many immigrants at Nvidia, I know that the opportunities we’ve found in America have profoundly shaped our lives.” He added, “The miracle of Nvidia — built by all of you and by brilliant colleagues around the world — would not be possible without immigration.”
Nvidia sponsor H-1B visas to their staff
The article quotes Huang saying that “legal immigration remains essential to ensuring the US continues to lead in technology and ideas,” and that the Trump administration’s “recent changes reaffirm this.” He said, “At NVIDIA, we built our company with extraordinary people from around the world, and we will continue to sponsor H-1B applicants and cover all associated fees. If you have any questions about H-1B visas, please reach out to NVIDIA-Immigration.”
On September 19, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation to significantly cut back the H-1B visa program and imposed a $100,000 application fee. While signing the proclamation, Trump said the “incentive is to hire American workers.”
Trump administration sued by Agencies for unexpected H-1B Visa changes
Earlier this month, a group of unions, education professionals, and religious organizations sued the Trump administration over the H-1B visa changes in the Northern District of California. They called the fee “unprecedented, unjustified and illegal.” The complaint said that “the President has no authority to alter the comprehensive statutory scheme created by Congress,” and that the option for exceptions “opens the door to selective enforcement and corruption.”
