Judge Strikes Down $100,000 H-1B Immigration Fee
Original: Judge Strikes Down Latest Version Of $100,000 H-1B Immigration Fee
A federal judge has struck down the latest version of the $100,000 fee imposed on new H-1B visa petitions, a policy introduced under the Trump administration. The ruling blocks the government from collecting the charge on skilled-worker visas, a major win for technology companies and immigration advocates who argued the fee exceeded presidential authority. Employers had faced the steep levy on new petitions filed after the policy took effect.
Why now: The ruling directly affects employers and foreign skilled workers who rely on the H-1B visa program, making the fee's legal fate a pressing concern.
