Washington DC, December 13: Legal challenges are mounting against the Trump administration’s proposal to impose a steep $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, with several US-based technology companies and immigrant rights groups raising strong objections. Critics argue that the proposed fee could severely impact skilled foreign workers and American companies that rely on specialised talent, particularly in the technology and healthcare sectors.
Legal experts said the move may face constitutional and administrative scrutiny, as opponents question the authority of the executive branch to introduce such a high fee without congressional approval. Indian professionals, who form a significant portion of H-1B visa holders, are closely monitoring the developments, amid concerns that the proposal could disrupt employment opportunities and bilateral talent mobility.
