Judge blocks $100,000 fee for H-1B visas imposed by Trump

A federal judge struck down a $100,000 fee ordered by President Donald Trump for H-1B visa applications. This decision provides a reprieve for US technology companies that rely on hiring skilled foreign workers. H-1B visas allow employers to hire international talent for specialty jobs, particularly in the tech industry. Recipients are typically admitted to the U.S. for three years, although they are not considered lawful permanent residents. The ruling blocks the implementation of the fee.
