The big question mark is if this fee would apply to hundreds of thousands of existing H1B visa holders when they need an extension/renewal?

There’s hundreds of thousands of H1B visa holders? I thought this visa was for people with some specialized skill that doesn’t exist or is impossible to find in the U.S. Surely there can’t be that many.

No, it's for new H1-Bs and renewals, and it starts tomorrow.
