Attorney Dana R. Bucin recently appeared in The Connecticut Mirror discussing President Trump’s decision to levy a $100,000 fee on H-1B applications and how that would affect Con-necticut businesses.

H-1B visas are to hire high-income, highly specialized workers, such as engineers, doctors, re-searchers, to temporarily work in the United States.

Dana, a member of the firm’s Immigration Practice Group, told the publication the change would make a bad situation worse, especially in health care.

“We already have a shortage of doctors, nurses and health care workers,” said Dana Bucin, a Hartford-based immigration attorney whose firm helps businesses with H-1B applications in a handful of states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.

“After we cut the access to H-1B for these professions,” she added, “it may be at a crisis level.”

Bucin also noted that the details of the new policy are unclear, causing fear and confusion. For example, employers aren’t clear on how to actually submit the $100,000 application fee or how the process will be managed, she said.

“The business world functions on predictability,” Dana said. “Volatility is not good for the economy, or for employers.”
