Back to EpisodesAlaska House Unanimously Pleads for Teacher Visa Fee Waiver
Description
Alaskas House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution urging the Trump administration to waive a steep new visa fee for international teachers, amidst a severe teacher shortage. The fee for H-1B visas, which bring in skilled workers like educators, surged from $5,000 to $100,000 per applicant, making it unaffordable for school districts. The resolution now heads to the Senate for expected approval, supporting federal efforts to scrap the fee for public school employees.
