US Judge Strikes Down $100,000 Fee, Creating H‑1B Visa Setback for Trump

A US federal judge has invalidated a $100,000 fee previously required for certain visa processes. The ruling removes the fee that had been tied to H‑1B visa applications. The decision is seen as a setback for the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. H‑1B visa aspirants may now face lower financial barriers. Legal experts suggest the move could affect future policy proposals. The case was reported by The Times of India. Stakeholders are monitoring potential appeals or legislative responses. The outcome highlights ongoing debates over immigration reform.
