Trump proposes higher visa fees
The Trump administration proposed doubling the H-1B visa fee to over $200,000, aiming to generate revenue for the immigration system. The new fee follows a court-blocked $100,000 fee introduced last year, which significantly reduced foreign applications. Critics argue the higher fees will harm the program, damage innovation, and worsen labor shortages in sectors like technology and healthcare. Court challenges and public comments continue as officials defend the move as an immigration regulation rather than a tax.
