Wall St futures flat amid US-China trade jitters; bank earnings in focus
Investing.com -- The Trump administration is considering exempting physicians and medical residents from the new $100,000 fee for high-skilled H-1B visa applications, according to a White House statement on Monday, as reported by Bloomberg News.
"The Proclamation allows for potential exemptions, which can include physicians and medical residents," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in an email to Bloomberg News.
The potential exemption comes after doctors raised concerns about how the substantial visa fee could restrict the flow of international medical graduates into the United States healthcare system.
The medical community has warned that limiting international medical talent could have consequences for patient care across the country.
