On today’s episode of TechCrunch’s ⁠Equity⁠ podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis sat down with ⁠Jeremy Neufeld⁠, who leads Immigration Policy at the Institute for Progress, to discuss how the latest H-1B updates will impact startups, entrepreneurs, and the landscape for tech professionals in the United States. 

Tune in to the complete episode to learn more about: 

  • The significant loophole allowing 80% of H-1B applicants to avoid paying the $100,000 fee altogether 
  • How the revised wage criteria might result in seasoned acupuncturists receiving more visa opportunities than newly graduated AI PhDs earning $200,000 
  • The uncertainty facing universities and national laboratories, who know they must pay but remain unclear on the specifics 

Equity is the main podcast from TechCrunch, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, with new episodes released every Wednesday and Friday.
