Look at fang salaries for sr. Folks. Their retention (other than salary and bonus) is atleast 200k + per year. For the right top talent they will easily pay. 
again I’m talking about top talent. Not the Dallas and NJIT batch, most of these guys may have faked or through reference and luck got jobs but they are not top talent.

Basically it saying if $100k is not paid you wont get visa stamped. In country extensions are fine I guess. This blocks WITCH companies from bringing in new people on H1B. But he forgot to include L1A and L1B

it is pdf document I will edit and upload don't worry

Based on the proclamation’s text:

🎯 Who It Applies To
    •    The $100,000 fee requirement applies only to H-1B petitions filed for workers who are outside the United States.
    •    The Department of State is tasked with verifying compliance during visa processing at consulates abroad.
    •    Entry (admission at ports of entry) is what is being restricted, not ongoing employment inside the country.

✅ Who Is Not Directly Affected
    •    Current H-1B workers already in the U.S. are not subject to this new payment restriction.
    •    Extensions, amendments, or transfers filed while the worker is physically in the U.S. do not trigger the $100,000 payment.
    •    Their ongoing lawful status and ability to keep working with valid H-1B approval remain unchanged.

⚠ Indirect Impact
    •    If an H-1B worker already in the U.S. leaves and then wants to re-enter (for example, after international travel), their new visa stamp at a U.S. consulate abroad may fall under this rule — meaning their employer would need to show the $100,000 fee was paid if a fresh petition is required.
    •    Future workforce planning may shift: companies could prefer to extend/transfer employees already in the U.S. rather than initiate new petitions abroad.

⸻

👉 In short: If you’re already in the U.S. on H-1B, your current status is safe. The restriction mainly targets new entries from abroad.

if already have h1 approval ayothey?

  If an H-1B worker already in the U.S. leaves and then wants to re-enter (for example, after international travel), their new visa stamp at a U.S. consulate abroad may fall under this rule — meaning their employer would need to show the $100,000 fee was paid if a fresh petition is required.

IMPORTANT ADVISORY: New travel restriction for H-1B visa holders
 
Hi all--We have now reviewed the actual text of today's Presidential Proclamation on H-1B visas, which you can find here: Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers – The White House. 
 
Here's what you need to know:
 
First, the proclamation is structured as a travel restriction. Beginning at 12:01 am eastern time on September 21, 2025 (so, 9:01 pm Pacific time tomorrow), individuals will not be able to enter/return to the U.S. in H-1B status unless their petition has an additional $100,000 payment associated with it.
 
What you need to do:
 
If you are in H-1B status and are in the U.S., you should remain in the U.S. for the foreseeable future. We know this may interrupt your travel plans. But the critical thing is to stay in the U.S. in order to avoid being denied reentry.
While the proclamation doesn't reference H-4 dependents, we also recommend that H-4s remain in the U.S.
If you are in H-1B or H-4 status and are currently outside the U.S., we strongly recommend that you do what you can to return to the U.S. tomorrow before the deadline. The Proclamation was released within the last 30 minutes, so we realize that there isn't much time to make sudden travel arrangements. But again, we strongly encourage you to do your best to return.
 
I will be updating this post later this evening with a form for people to fill out if they are currently outside the U.S. with an H-1B visa. We want to be able to follow up with each individual and provide support and guidance as they try to return within the next 28 hours.
 
We will also be reaching out to everyone by email later today to make sure everyone is aware.
 
The proclamation does not impact any other visa statuses.
 
There is other content in the proclamation about the pause in processing H-1B petitions for individuals who are outside the U.S. At this time, we do not interpret this to immediately impact extensions of H-1B status or changes of status to H-1B as long as you are currently in the U.S. We'll share more about that later.
 
I know these developments are creating anxiety and uncertainty for many of you. While we don't have all of the answers right now, we ask that you prioritize the recommendations above.
