Trump Raises Visa Fees, Targets Wealthy Immigrants

Donald Trump signed a new order on visas. It changes the cost and rules for some foreign workers. This order may face legal problems because some people disagree with it.

The cost for some visas may go up a lot. Skilled worker visas could cost much more than before. Investor visas may also become more expensive in the United States.

H-1B visas are for skilled workers with degrees. Tech companies use them to hire people for special jobs. Some say these visas lead to lower pay for workers in the United States.

Trump thinks tech companies will like these changes. One official said many big companies agree with the plan. Some companies like Amazon and Google did not comment right away.

A new \"gold card\" visa will cost $1 million. This card could help people become citizens of the U.S. There will also be a \"platinum card\" with a different set of rules for taxes.
