Trump gov't proposes more than US$103,000 fee on H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has released a proposed regulation to implement a fee exceeding $103,000 for new H-1B visas intended for highly skilled foreign workers. The announcement, reported on August 24, seeks to codify this financial requirement into federal policy.

This proposal represents a renewed effort to establish a fee that has previously faced legal challenges. The regulation aims to formalize a cost structure that has been blocked by the courts in past attempts.
