“Legal immigration remains essential to ensuring the U.S. continues to lead in technology and ideas,” Huang reportedly wrote in an internal employee memo this week, Business Insider reported.
A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment.
After his initially positive response, Huang noted in a podcast interview last month that while the new fee eliminates abuses of the visa system, the $100,000 fee “probably sets the bar a little too high.”
In the internal memo this week, Huang said Nvidia would continue to sponsor H-1B visa employees and talked up his support for immigrant workers.
“As one of many immigrants at Nvidia, I know that the opportunities we’ve found in America have profoundly shaped our lives,” he wrote in the memo, according to Business Insider. “And the miracle of Nvidia — built by all of you, and by brilliant colleagues around the world — would not be possible without immigration.”
