Coalition Files Lawsuit Against New $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee, Claiming Unfair Labor Practice
A coalition of health care providers and other groups is challenging the new $100,000 fee required for H-1B visa applications in a lawsuit, marking what appears to be the first major challenge to the policy.
A coalition of health care providers, religious groups, and university professors has filed a lawsuit against the new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications, challenging what they call an 'exorbitant' and 'unlawful' charge. The group claims that the fee is not justified by law and is being imposed without sufficient transparency or public input. If successful, the lawsuit could lead to a significant reduction in the cost of obtaining H-1B visas for foreign workers. The case is seen as a major challenge to the new rule, which was announced last month.
