Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NVDA]) CEO Jensen Huang said the tech giant will continue to sponsor H-1B visas and the new, higher costs associated with it, according to a memo obtained by Business Insider.

The full memo, obtained by the news outlet [https://www.businessinsider.com/jensen-huang-nvidia-ceo-sponsor-h1bs-memo-2025-10], is below:

_Hi everyone, _

_Immigration is at the heart of the American dream — an enduring symbol of opportunity that reminds us that anyone, regardless of where they come from, can achieve success and build a better life through hard work, talent, and determination. As one of many immigrants at NVIDIA, I know that the opportunities we've found in America have profoundly shaped our lives. And the miracle of NVIDIA — built by all of you, and by brilliant colleagues around the world — would not be possible without immigration. _

_H-1 B visas provide a vital pathway for exceptional talent to contribute to America's growth and innovation. Legal immigration remains essential to ensuring the U.S. continues to lead in technology and ideas. _

_The administration's recent changes reaffirm this — helping America attract and retain the most exceptional talent. At NVIDIA, we built our company with extraordinary people from around the world, and we will continue to sponsor H-1B applicants and cover all associated fees. If you have any questions about H-1B visas, please reach out to NVIDIA-Immigration. _

_Best regards, _

_Jensen_

An Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by Seeking Alpha.

Huang's comments come after President Trump said his administration would enact rules to curb “abuses” of the H-1B visa system and encourage companies to hire more American workers. President Trump also raised the fee on the H-1B visa last month [https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/h-1b-faq], to $100,000 per new visa petition, which went into effect on Sept. 21. It previously cost between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the size of the employer.

Nvidia shares rose 0.3% in midday trading on Tuesday.
