Appeals court denies Trump’s bid to allow $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas

A federal appeals court rejected Donald Trump’s administration’s attempt to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, upholding a lower court ruling that the fee was an unlawful tax. The three-judge panel of Democratic appointees let stand a June 8 decision by a judge invalidating the fee, which 20 Democratic state attorneys general challenged in a lawsuit.
