The Trump administration proposed a new fee of $103,265 for cap-subject H-1B petitions for foreign workers, replacing a previous charge that was blocked by a federal court. The Department of Homeland Security stated that the fee is intended to cover the costs of administering the legal immigration system. This proposed rule is set to be published in the Federal Register and could be finalized by the end of the year. The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, with 65,000 visas available annually under the regular cap, plus an additional 20,000 for workers with advanced degrees from U.S. institutions. The new fee would apply to all cap-subject petitions, including those filed by foreign students in the U.S. The proposal has faced challenges from business groups and labor unions, and an appeals court is currently reviewing a related federal judge's decision.
