US Judge Blocks H-1B Visa Fee

US Judge Blocks H-1B Visa Fee

A federal judge has struck down the Trump administration's controversial $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, offering significant relief to US technology companies.

This ruling overturns a policy that had been criticized for hindering the recruitment of skilled foreign workers.

President Donald Trump, however, expressed his disapproval of the decision, labeling it an obstacle to his immigration policies.

The legal challenge and subsequent ruling highlight the ongoing debate over immigration and its impact on the technology sector in the United States.
