Federal Judge Declares Trump's $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee Unlawful

8 Haziran 2026The Guardian

A federal judge has ruled that the $100,000 fee imposed by Donald Trump on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers is unlawful. The ruling comes from US District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston, following a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state attorneys general.
The fee, announced by Trump in September, significantly increased the cost of obtaining H-1B visas.
The H-1B visa program is crucial for the U.S. economy, allowing companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
This ruling highlights the ongoing legal battles surrounding immigration policies enacted during the Trump administration. By invalidating the exorbitant fee, the court reinforces the principle that immigration regulations should be fair and accessible to skilled workers.
