ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The University of Rochester says it’s in communication with its employees who hold an H-1B visa following President Donald Trump’s announcement of changes coming to the visa program.
The visa program is for highly specialized foreign workers, often hired by universities as researchers or by tech companies. The president says all new H-1B visa applications will require a $100,000 payment starting Sunday. Previously, visa fees ranged from $2,000 to $5,000 per application. The administration clarified that the fee won’t impact current visa holders.
In a statement, UR said that it’s “immeasurably better and stronger because of its international community” and that it “value and embrace one another under challenging circumstances.”
UR said its leaders have reached out to H-1B visa holders to “make them aware of the potential ramifications” of Trump’s announcement. Here is the full statement:
“The University of Rochester is immeasurably better and stronger because of its international community, and we value and embrace one another under challenging circumstances. Over the weekend, University of Rochester leaders reached out to our H-1B visa holders and departments to make them aware of the potential ramifications of this proclamation. Part of this outreach is providing guidance on what re-entry restrictions these visa holders might face if they plan to leave the US, or are currently outside of the country. Additional guidance and support will be provided as more information is becoming available.”
