Newsweek recently featured Divij Kishore, immigration attorney at Flagship Law, in its report “List of Companies No Longer Sponsoring H-1B Visas.” The article explores the widespread response to the U.S. government’s new policy imposing a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications — a move that has drawn strong reactions from employers, industry leaders, and immigration experts.
As companies reevaluate their hiring strategies under this costly new regulation, Kishore offered perspective on the broader implications for the American workforce. “Over time, this policy could narrow the diversity and skill depth of the U.S. workforce,” he explained. “Companies will hire fewer foreign professionals and shift more high-value work abroad, leaving fewer opportunities for knowledge transfer within the U.S.”
Kishore also noted that many organizations are expected to pause new overseas filings and instead explore alternatives such as the L-1 or E-2 visa categories to sustain critical operations. His comments underscore Flagship Law’s deep understanding of how immigration law intersects with business strategy and global talent mobility.
Flagship Law continues to advise corporate clients, entrepreneurs, and professionals on navigating evolving U.S. immigration policies — helping them maintain compliance, attract global talent, and adapt to regulatory shifts with clarity and confidence.
