Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee is unlawful, US judge rules

A federal judge on Monday declared a $100,000 fee that US President Donald Trump imposed on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers is unlawful and must be invalidated.

US District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston issued the ruling in a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state attorneys general challenging a fee Trump announced in September that dramatically raised the cost of obtaining H-1B visas.
