US proposes upping H-1B visa fee to more than $100,000 - Reuters

The Trump administration is proposing a permanent fee of $103,265 for certain new H-1B visas, significantly raising costs for employers of skilled foreign workers in research, education, and tech. This follows a previous attempt that a federal judge ruled illegal in June. While a Boston-based appeals court reviews that decision, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security posted the new proposed regulation, as the current temporary fee increase is set to expire this September.
