H-1B Visas

Attorneys general from 20 states led by California and Massachusetts filed suit Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts to block the Trump administration’s $100,000 H‑1B visa fee, which took effect Sept. 21 under a presidential proclamation. The states argue the fee is unlawful and harms education, health care and other services, while the administration says it targets program abuse that depresses U.S. wages.
