Trump’s $100,000 H-1B Visa Application Fee Rejected by Judge
US District Judge Leo T. Sorokin in Massachusetts struck down a $100,000 fee President Donald Trump ordered for H-1B visa applications, providing a reprieve for US technology companies that rely on hiring skilled foreign workers.
Sorokin sided with California and 19 other states that sued to block the fee, agreeing that Trump lacked the authority to impose the hefty charge on businesses without approval by Congress.
