New York hospitals are advocating for an exemption from federal H-1B visa fees, arguing the costs create financial strain on healthcare employers already facing labor shortages. The push comes as the healthcare sector continues to rely heavily on foreign workers to fill critical roles amid ongoing staffing challenges. Industry leaders highlight how the fees disproportionately burden nonprofits and public institutions already operating on tight budgets. The exemption request underscores broader tensions between immigration policy and workforce demands in essential industries.
