H-1B: Judge upholds Trump’s $100K fee to process tech visas

In a 56-page opinion, US District Judge Beryl Howell wrote that the president has “broad statutory authority” to address “a problem he perceives to be a matter of economic and national security”.

Trump has argued that the H-IB visa system was being abused to replace American workers with people willing to work for less money.

The H-IB programme offers 65,000 visas annually, with another 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees, approved for three to six years.
