US President Donald Trump has rolled out the biggest overhaul of the H-1B visa system yet, imposing a steep $100,000 annual fee on companies for each application.

Alongside, Trump has launched a "gold card" residency visa for wealthy foreigners willing to invest $1 million. Critics warn this is a crackdown on skilled migration while opening doors only to the rich.
