## H-1B Registrations Drop
US President Donald Trump's administration introduced a $100,000 fee and wage-weighted selection for H-1B visas in fiscal year 2027.
## Infosys Registrations Fall
Infosys submitted 759 H-1B registrations for FY2027, down from 8,886 in FY2026.
## TCS Registrations Plummet
Tata Consultancy Services reported 284 H-1B registrations for FY2027, down from 5,955 in FY2026.
## Cognizant No Registrations
Cognizant submitted zero H-1B registrations for FY2027, compared with 3,752 the previous year.
## Overall Decline
Combined H-1B registrations by top Indian IT firms fell by 92% from 24,946 to 2,055.
## Why Registrations Drop
The wage-weighted selection system and $100,000 fee reduced new H-1B petitions by 91% in the first eight months.
## Impact on Workers
Indian IT firms may shift to existing workers, visa extensions, transfers, and local recruitment to offset reduced registrations.
## Key takeaway

Infosys, Cognizant, and TCS submitted fewer H-1B visas for FY2027 after Trump's fee and selection reforms.
