Singaporeans spared from $129,000 US work visa fee

The US Embassy in Singapore said that “there is no change to the H-1B1 process at this time.”

Singaporeans wanting to work in the United States temporarily under a one-year visa scheme are not affected by the $129,095 (US$100,000) fee levied on a separate three-year H-1B work visa.

The US Embassy in Singapore said in a Facebook post that “there is no change to the H-1B1 process at this time,” adding that US President Donald Trump’s proclamation applies only to the H-1B visa.

The H-1B is a temporary visa to the US for skilled foreign workers with a minimum qualification of a bachelor’s degree.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
