Trump’s US$100,000 H-1B visa fee is an unlawful tax, judge rules

A federal judge ruled that a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas imposed by President Donald Trump was an unlawful tax not authorized by Congress. The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state attorneys general challenging the fee, which significantly increased the cost of obtaining H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers.
