JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently appealed directly to the White House, saying, “I would beg the president” to reconsider recent immigration fee policies. As one of Wall Street’s biggest users of H-1B visas, Dimon warned that such steep changes would provoke pushback from large firms that depend on specialized talent. He emphasized that many businesses simply cannot find skilled workers domestically and rely on international recruitment.
Dimon’s remarks come amid a heated debate over proposed high fees for new H-1B visa applications. He argued that the policy caught many major employers off guard and that there should be an open dialogue involving business stakeholders and government officials. Rather than imposing sudden burdens, Dimon suggested a more collaborative approach to immigration reform—one that balances national interests with the practical needs of the U.S. job market.
