A Presidential proclamation issued on September 19 2025 imposes a $100000 fee on new H-1B petitions filed after September 21 2025. Please be advised that Texas A&M University will NOT pay this fee. Therefore if you need immigration sponsorship for your employment we recommend that you consult with your private immigration counsel at your own expense to ascertain whether your current immigration status would make a potential offer of employment from Texas A&M University subject to this fee.

In addition on January 27 2026 Texas Governor Abbot issued a moratorium on the filing of any new H-1B unless approved by the Texas Workforce Commission. Accordingly if you will now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status this moratorium may affect our ability to employ you should you be selected as the final candidate.
