Oct 7 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Nvidia's CEO Jensen
Huang said that the company will continue to sponsor H-1B visas
and cover all associated costs following U.S. President Donald
Trump's executive order last month that imposed a $100,000 fee
on each new application, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.
"As one of many immigrants at Nvidia ( NVDA ), I know that the
opportunities we've found in America have profoundly shaped our
lives," Huang wrote in a message to staff, cited by Business
Insider.
"And the miracle of Nvidia ( NVDA ) - built by all of you, and by
brilliant colleagues around the world - would not be possible
without immigration," Huang added, according to the report.
Nvidia ( NVDA ) declined to comment.
Trump's order bars new H-1B recipients from entering the
United States unless the employer sponsoring their visa has made
an additional $100,000 payment. The administration has said the
order does not apply to people who already hold H-1B visas or
those who submitted applications before September 21.
