"The introduction of a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas has created uncertainty across Silicon Valley and left tens of thousands of the world's most talented engineers, founders, and researchers reconsidering their futures,"
"This is not a moment for quiet diplomacy or understated British reserve. This is a moment for bold, decisive action."
"once in a generation chance for Britain to attract genuinely top tier global tech talent"
The US announced a proposal to charge companies $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas aimed at hiring specialist foreign workers. That fee has created widespread uncertainty in Silicon Valley and prompted many engineers, founders, and researchers to reconsider relocation plans. The Startup Coalition urged the UK government to act to attract displaced talent and recommended expanding the Global Talent Fund, introducing targeted support for those affected by US policy changes, offering expedited processing for H-1B holders and relocators, and updating the EMI scheme to strengthen equity packages. The UK’s visa routes are dramatically cheaper.
