The $100K Question for U.S. Companies. The government announced a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa petitions. Yes, $100K per new hire. That changes the equation. Sponsorship becomes harder to justify. But the need for world-class talent doesn’t disappear. The bigger story is access. For years, U.S. companies have relied on the H-1B to tap into global talent. Now, they’ll need to think differently. The advantage remains the same: finding the best people, no matter where they are. But the path must shift. Here’s the perspective from where we stand: with the cost of one H-1B hire, you can build an entire senior engineering team in LATAM. Remote, real-time, culturally aligned. This isn’t a quick fix for a new policy. It’s a model we’ve been proving for nearly a decade, alongside 300+ U.S. companies. Simple, compliant, and built for the long term. Some taglines are just marketing. Ours has been reality from day one, and it feels more relevant today than ever: “Nearshore staffing, as easy as hiring in the U.S.” The H-1B may have changed, but access to global talent doesn’t have to.

Your next engineering hire doesn't have to cost $180K. We mapped real compensation data across LatAm — by role and seniority level — built from 1,500+ actual placements at 350+ US tech companies. Free report. No fluff. Just the numbers.

Chances are you've already worked alongside a Nexton engineer. For eight years we've been building engineering teams for US companies with senior Latin American engineers. Every one hand-matched by people, interviewed by an engineer in your stack, working in your hours. When your team grows, we're one message away.

A new AI squad. A product line that needs its own team. A backfill that can't wait. Most of our clients don't hire once. Several started with one engineer and now run teams of 20+, hiring with us year after year, and the engineers stay. Same vetting, same partner, first matching candidates in under 72 hours.

Hiring senior engineers shouldn't take three months. For eight years Nexton has built engineering teams for 350+ US companies with senior Latin American engineers. Every one hand-matched by people, interviewed by an engineer in your stack, working in your hours. First matching candidates in under 72 hours.

Every engineer uses AI now. The question is who catches it when it's wrong. That's what Nexton AI Ready certifies: certifications from recognized AI platforms, plus a check on logic, security and performance in AI-written code. Nobody finishes without shipping a refactor and explaining every change. Engineers already on your team can enroll too.
