US EditionTrump Administration Sued By Chamber Of Commerce Over $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce challenges the fee as unlawful and warns it will limit access to skilled workers for American businesses, citing provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a legal challenge in the District of Columbia federal court against the Trump administration's $100,000 fee for H-1B visa petitions.
- President Donald Trump last month issued an executive order and a Sept. 19 proclamation imposing a one-time fee on new H-1B petitions.
- The lawsuit argues that the executive action unlawfully overrides the Immigration and Nationality Act by detaching fees from government costs and warns the president lacks authority to impose fees unilaterally.
- The chamber warned that businesses would face higher labor costs or fewer hires, while a coalition of unions sued, saying hospitals, schools and churches face workforce shortages.
- The H-1B program serves high-skilled tech, engineering and science roles, includes up to 85,000 advanced-degree slots, and major petitioners like Amazon, Meta and Apple face competition from China’s recently launched K visa.
