H-1B Fee Blocked by Judge
Description
Trump’s plan to charge $100,000 per H-1B visa was blocked by a Massachusetts judge who ruled it requires Congressional approval, not executive order. With only 85,000 spots annually for highly skilled workers—critical for tech, hospitals, and universities—the fee would cripple hiring and innovation. Big employers fiercely opposed it, calling it financially impossible. The administration vows to appeal, claiming the visa program is abused and needs reform to protect American jobs—but for now, the fee is on hold. This is just one front in the administration’s broader immigration overhaul battle.
