US EditionUS judge rejects business group's challenge to Trump's $100,000 H-1B visa fee
US District Judge Beryl Howell ruled the $100,000 fee under presidential authority aims to reduce immigration and protect American workers, impacting 85,000 annual H-1B visas.
- On Tuesday , US District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., rejected the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's challenge and upheld President Donald Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications.
- President Donald Trump invoked his power under federal immigration law to restrict entry of certain foreign nationals, while Judge Howell said the September 19 proclamation rests on congressional statutes delegating broad authority to the President.
- Court documents note that the H-1B programme offers 65,000 visas annually plus 20,000 for advanced degrees, with the $100,000 fee sharply exceeding typical $2,000 to $5,000 past fees, Howell pointed to administration evidence that.
- The ruling clears the way for enforcement of the $100,000 fee on new H-1B applications, with major tech firms and universities potentially appealing, as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce considers legal options.
- U.S. employers who use H-1B visas face higher costs or fewer skilled hires, as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says the fee burdens businesses while Judge Beryl Howell said the policy debate is not for courts.
