Hiring in medicine just got harder with $100K visa fee

Seattle Now

About this episode

It will now cost companies $100,000 to sponsor a worker on an H-1B visa.

The change has prompted the UW Medical Center and Fred Hutch Cancer Center to pause H-1B visa hires.

And that’s a big problem for healthcare where doctors and researchers are already in short supply.

We’ll learn more from Seattle Times reporter Nina Shapiro.
