The big question mark is if this fee would apply to hundreds of thousands of existing H1B visa holders when they need an extension/renewal?

[remarkEon]

There’s hundreds of thousands of H1B visa holders? I thought this visa was for people with some specialized skill that doesn’t exist or is impossible to find in the U.S. Surely there can’t be that many.

[sailingparrot]

No, it's for new H1-Bs and renewals, and it starts tomorrow.

You are correct [although what was said at the oval office was different].
