U.S. Fed judge strikes down $100,000 fee imposed by Trump on new H-1B visas, calls it ‘unlawful’

Описание: A federal judge on June 8, struck down a $100,000 fee that U.S. President Trump imposed on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers. According to Reuters, US District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston ruled that the fee was an 'unlawful' tax that had never been authorized by Congress. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state attorneys general challenging the fee announced by Trump in September 2025. The administration argued the fee constituted a lawful monetary penalty that the president was authorized to impose under federal immigration law. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers in a statement said the Trump administration is confident Sorokin's order will be reversed on appeal. Significantly increased the financial burden on employers and skilled foreign workers seeking to obtain H-1B visas. The H-1B program offers 65,000 visas annually, with another 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees, approved for three to six years. The increase in fees has discouraged H-1B visa requests, court filings by the administration indicated.
