200K opt to pay $100K for faster H1B visa

Over 200,000 individuals have shelled out $100,000 each to expedite their H-1B visa processing, according to US Homeland Security secretary Markwayne Mullin. This new fee option reflects a significant shift in how the US immigration system is adapting to high demand and backlogs. It's a costly but effective measure for those needing timely entry into the US for work purposes, highlighting the broader issue of immigration backlogs and the lengths people will go to secure a quicker path to professional opportunities in America.
