Nvidia CEO Couldnât Afford Trumpâs $100k Visa Sticker Shock
Jensen Huang, Nvidiaâs wizened immigrant CEO, revealed on October 8, 2025, that Trumpâs brand new $100,000 H-1B visa feeâsigned into law September 19, 2025âmight have flat-out barred his entire family from the American dream. Born in Taiwan, shuttled through Thailand, and arriving stateside at age nine, Huang called this new exorbitant 'price tag' 'probably too high,' even by Silicon Valley standards where million-dollar IPOs are casual Tuesday things. Despite the chaos sending immigrant tech workers into travel lockdowns, Nvidia, owner of 1,400 H-1B visas, heroically promised to cover these fees, reinforcing that immigration is not just a policy but the motherboard of their companyâand apparently now a $100,000 game of life Monopoly.
