Trump Administration Proposes Permanent $103,265 Fee for H-1B Visas

The Trump administration's proposal seeks to establish a permanent fee of $103,265 for cap-subject H-1B petitions, replacing a temporary fee previously blocked by a court.
Public comments on the proposal will be accepted for 30 days before it may be finalized, with a potential decision expected by the end of the year.
The fee is intended to recover costs associated with administering the immigration system, despite opposition from business groups and ongoing legal challenges.
