Trump moves to impose more than $100 000 fee for H-1B worker visas

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday released a proposed regulation to codify an unprecedented fee of more than $100 000 on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers that has been blocked by the courts.

In imposing the fee, Trump invoked the president’s power under immigration law to restrict the entry of certain foreign nationals who would be detrimental to US interests.

The Trump administration has maintained that the fee is not a traditional tax and that courts have little power to question the president’s authority to restrict entry into the country.
