The Trump administration proposes a $103,000 fee for H-1B visas

The Trump administration has proposed a new fee of $103,265 for H-1B visas, a program used to hire foreign workers within the United States. The proposal, detailed in documents from the Department of Homeland Security, follows a previous attempt by the administration to implement a $100,000 application fee that was subsequently struck down by a federal judge.

This regulatory proposal represents a continued effort by the administration to alter the financial requirements for the H-1B visa program. The move comes months after the legal rejection of the prior fee structure, signaling a renewed attempt to establish a high-cost barrier for the visa category.
