Court Strikes Down Trump's $100,000 Fee on H-1B Visas
HR Dive - Latest News·Thursday, 11 June 2026
A federal judge has struck down a $100,000 fee that the Trump administration tried to impose on H-1B visas, which are used by highly skilled foreign workers. The judge ruled the fee was an unlawful tax on the visa programme. The H-1B visa is heavily used by Indian tech professionals working in the US.
Why It Matters
Tens of thousands of Indian professionals work in the US on H-1B visas. A $100,000 fee would have made it far more expensive for companies to sponsor them, potentially cutting off a major career pathway.
