The H-1B visa has long been America's gateway for highly skilled professionals, from engineers and scientists to AI researchers and doctors. But under President Donald Trump, the programme has become the centre of a fierce political and legal battle. A proposed $100,000 sponsorship fee, now challenged in court, has reignited questions about immigration, innovation and America's global competitiveness. On the Spotlight, Daniela Laurel examines how the H-1B programme works, why companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Apple rely on it, and why critics believe it needs reform. She also examines India's role in the system, the stories of leaders like Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai, and whether restricting skilled immigration could reshape America's position in the global AI race.
