- My company’s attorney filed an extension of status petition with USCIS on my behalf. Based on the $100,000 Presidential Proclamation, I should be fine, right? Meaning I should not be subject to this $100,000 tax?
On September 19, 2025, the President issued a Proclamation to allegedly reform the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program by requiring a tax/tariff to participate. Initially after waiting for several days to obtain clarity on the proclamation, the following information was provided re the effect of this proclamation on H-1B extensions from within the U.S: If the petition is a change of status to H-1B, extension of H-1B status or change of H-1B employer for an individual physically present in the U.S., the proclamation does not apply. However, as of October 20, 2025, USCIS has now indicated that if a change of status to H-1B, extension of H-1B status or change of H-1B employer, or H-1B amendment is filed and denied, those applicants will become subject to the proclamation as they will be referred for Consular Processing rather than issued an I-94 record.
