What are the changes to the H-1B visa program?

A. The U.S. government introduced a $100,000 fee for every new H-1B visa petition. This fee is a one-time charge paid by the employer that applies to the upcoming 2026 lottery cycle and any new petitions submitted after September 21, 2025.

How does the new H-1B fee impact my business financially?

The new $100,000 fee is a huge jump from the previous H-1B costs, which were around $2,000–10,000.

Is the new $100,000 H-1B visa fee refundable if my application is unsuccessful?

No. The $100,000 is a one-time, nonrefundable payment that’s required for any new H-1B visa petition.

What is the employer of record (EOR) model, and how does it solve these challenges?

An EOR is a third-party organization that legally employs international talent on your behalf. It handles all employment responsibilities such as contracts, payroll, benefits, compliance, and tax filings. This model allows you to hire and onboard global employees without the time, expense, and risk of establishing a local legal entity. You can hire talent in a new country in days with an EOR vs. spending 3–12 months setting up a new legal entity.

How does hiring with G-P EOR compare to the traditional H-1B visa process in terms of time, cost, and certainty?

The H-1B visa process can take 6-12 months and requires a nonrefundable $100,000 fee. It’s based on a lottery, so there’s no guarantee. G-P EOR allows you to start hiring in days, it’s guaranteed, and has no upfront visa fees – just a monthly platform fee.

Can G-P EOR help me get an H-1B visa?

No, G-P EOR can’t help you get an H-1B visa. Instead, you can hire, onboard, and manage top talent in 180+ countries, without the visa price tag.

Can an EOR worker live in the U.S.?

An EOR is designed to help you hire talent compliantly in a country where you don’t have a legal entity. Therefore, EOR workers live and work in the country where the EOR is legally employing them. If the individual isn't a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and wants to live and work in the United States, they need the appropriate work visa. The EOR model is an alternative that allows you to hire talent in other countries, without requiring relocation or the time, expense, and uncertainty of the H-1B visa.
