This is terrible lack of planning. I understand the need for the US to be strict about people entering the country. They have a right to choose but this is so mismanaged.

There are so many active H-1B visa holders, now everyone is just anxious. The rules can start for new visa applications. For existing holders, there should be a time period where people can figure out if the employer is even able to pay.

If this stays in effect for existing visa holders and the employers cannot pay in time or wants to change the contract, the individuals and their families are stuck. Plus, employees probably lose their job if employer cannot pay the fees.

The strength of a theory lies in its predictive capacity. I used to think people who said “the cruelty is the point” were hyperbolic, but the predictive capacity of that theory is doing pretty well these days.

I don't think it is a terrible lack of planning. I think it is exactly what they intended to achieve.
