From the Daily Pennsylvanian: According to data from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and an analysis by The Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn ranked first among all Ivy League universities as an employer of H-1B visa beneficiaries. Under a proclamation made by 1968 Wharton graduate and President Donald Trump last week, each new H-1B petition will be subject to a $100,000 fee.
In 2025, the University secured 111 new approvals, which could cause Penn to face more than $11 million in fees each year if it maintains similar levels of sponsorship. Penn sponsored an average of 269 H-1B visas annually — including both new applicants and renewals — between 2020 and 2025. The University had 227 approved H-1B employees in 2025...
H-1B visas are for employees with “highly specialized” knowledge and education who are able to work temporarily in the United States. The visas last for three years but can be renewed for a period of up to six years... In 2025, Penn employed more H-1B beneficiaries than any other Ivy League university.
