- NVIDIA will continue sponsoring H-1B visas for employees and cover all related application costs.
- CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the importance of immigration to both his personal journey and the company’s growth.
- Huang stated that legal immigration is essential for U.S. leadership in technology and innovation.
- The announcement comes after a new executive order imposes a $100,000 fee on each new H-1B VISA application.
- Major U.S. companies, including Amazon, Tata Consultancy Services, Meta Platforms, Apple, and Google, employ thousands of H-1B visa holders.
Nvidia will continue to sponsor H-1B visas for its employees and take on all related costs, CEO Jensen Huang informed staff in a recent memo. The announcement was made in light of updated U.S. immigration policies that could affect the hiring of specialized foreign workers.
According to the memo, Huang highlighted the central role that immigration has played in his own experience and in the company’s overall success. He said: “As one of many immigrants at Nvidia, I know that the opportunities we’ve found in America have profoundly shaped our lives.”
In his message, Huang added that “legal immigration remains essential to ensuring the U.S. continues to lead in technology and ideas,” noting that recent policy changes reinforce this point. Last month, a new executive order from President Donald Trump introduced a $100,000 fee on each new H-1B visa application. The H-1B program allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialized roles, such as engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data shows that Amazon leads with more than 10,000 H-1B visa holders across its subsidiaries as of mid-2025. Other major employers include Tata Consultancy Services with about 5,500, Meta Platforms with over 5,100, Apple with around 4,200, and Google with approximately 4,181 visa holders.
The new executive order has raised concerns among technology and financial companies, which rely on the H-1B program for hiring skilled professionals from countries such as India and China. These developments coincide with a broader decline across major stock indices in recent trading.
