Twenty states have sued to block the Trump administration’s new $100,000 H‑1B fee. At the same time, major tech firms including Apple and Google — through their immigration counsel — have warned H‑1B employees without valid visa stamps to avoid international travel amid months‑long consular delays caused in part by DHS’s new social‑media screening and widespread appointment postponements (including hundreds reported in India), while worker groups push for added protections.
