On Wednesday (Eastern Time), NVIDIA's CEO, Huang Renxun, offered a nuanced critique of the Trump administration's immigration policy overhauls during an interview. He pointed out that, given the prevailing policies, his own family would have been barred from immigrating to the United States during that era. The Trump administration's recent move to hike the H-1B visa fee to a staggering $100,000 has ignited a firestorm within the tech sector, which heavily depends on international talent. Huang Renxun candidly admitted that such a fee would have been financially out of reach for his family, effectively squashing their immigration prospects. Furthermore, he noted that NVIDIA remains committed to covering H-1B visa fees for its immigrant workforce but expressed a desire for more favorable policy adjustments.
