Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa application fee upheld by judgeListen to this articleA national flag of the United States, a passport, mock US dollars and US H-1B Visa application forms are seen in this illustration taken on Sept 22, 2025. Daryl Joseffer, the Chamber’s executive vice president, said in a statement the $100,000 fee makes H-1B visas cost prohibitive. The H-1B visa programme is a cornerstone of employment-based immigration, allowing companies in the United States to hire college-educated foreign workers for specialised occupations.
