The Donald Trump administration is reportedly planning a proposal to impose a hefty USD 100,000 fee on work authorisation for international students who wish to remain in the United States after graduating from American universities. If implemented, the move could significantly impact thousands of Indian students who rely on the Optional Practical Training (OPT) programme to gain work experience and eventually transition to H-1B visas. The proposal comes after a US court blocked an earlier attempt by the administration to introduce a USD 100,000 fee on H-1B visas. With that plan facing legal hurdles, the administration is now reportedly exploring a similar fee structure for the OPT programme.
