Federal judge strikes down Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for high-skilled workers

A federal judge in Boston struck down the $100,000 fee imposed by the Trump administration on new H-1B visas for high-skilled workers. This ruling contradicts a previous Washington, D.C. federal court decision that denied the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's request to remove the fee. The administration had implemented the higher cost to prevent foreign workers from taking American jobs. The Boston court's decision effectively reverses the policy intended to limit the influx of high-skilled foreign labor.
