Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday that his family’s immigration to the United States would have been impossible under the Trump administration’s current visa policies.

US President Donald Trump , in September, hiked the H-1B visa fee to $100,000. The H-1B visa is granted to foreign professionals with specialised skills.

“I don’t think that my family would have been able to afford the $100,000 and and so the opportunity for my, my family and for me to be here ... would not have been possible,” Huang said in an interview to CNBC’s show “Squawk Box.”

“Immigration is the foundation of the American dream,” Huang said, “this ideal that anyone can come to America and through hard work and some talent, be able to build a better future for yourself," he added.
