Rohan Mehta spent $8,000 to return to the US fearing Trump's new visa fee.
Trump's executive order introduced a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applicants.
The White House clarified the fee is one-time and doesn't apply to current visa holders.
Many H-1B visa holders, especially from India, rushed back to the US before the deadline.
Confusion and concern spread despite the White House's clarification.
H-1B visa holders expressed distress over potential impacts on their lives and careers.
The new fee will apply only to new visa applications, not renewals or current holders.
