Appeals court denies Trump’s bid to allow $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas
The appeals court said the administration had not shown it was likely to win, keeping the $100,000 charge off new H-1B visas for now.
- On Friday, the Boston-based First Circuit Court rejected President Donald Trump's administration's bid to stay a lower court ruling, maintaining the block on a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visas.
- District Judge Leo Sorokin ruled on June 8 that the fee acts as an unauthorized tax, a decision supported by 20 Democrat-ruled States that initiated the lawsuit challenging the policy.
- Citing a 1989 Supreme Court ruling, the Circuit Court said the executive must show Congress clearly authorized such financial burdens, while Employers typically paid about $2,000 to $5,000 in prior visa fees.
- Hunt said, "In light of the 100k fee, there are some workers who were about to lose their job offer but can now get a visa after all," while court filings show demand has sharply declined.
- Trump claimed the H-1B program was exploited to replace American workers, but the Court found the administration failed to show it would likely succeed on appeal or that plaintiffs faced substantial harm.
