U.S. Chamber of Commerce sues Trump administration over H-1B visa fee
Read Original Source
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday alleging that a $100,000 fee for new visas for highly skilled foreign workers is unlawful. The lawsuit aims to block the charge for new H-1B visa applications, which the chamber said would inflict "significant harm" on American businesses by sharply increasing their labor costs or curtailing their ability to hire skilled employees.
