📗 Immigration desk: Visa news, options & updates
$100K H-1B fee faces a federal lawsuit over threats to U.S. essential sectors
The Trump administration is facing a federal lawsuit over its new $100,000 H-1B visa fee for highly skilled workers. The lawsuit, led by religious groups, healthcare providers, unions, and educators, warns the fee could harm hospitals, schools, and other essential sectors. Critics say the policy discourages top global talent and threatens research, innovation, and the U.S. economy. H-1B visas cover a wide range of roles, from tech to healthcare and education, and are valid for three years, extendable to six.
H-1B visa rules coming under stricter oversight: DHS plans major reforms
The Department of Homeland Security is planning updates to the H-1B visa program aimed at tightening rules for employers and applicants. Proposed changes include revising cap exemptions, increasing scrutiny on companies that have violated program rules, and stricter oversight of third-party placements. The goal is to protect U.S. workers’ wages and ensure compliance with program requirements. The rule could be published as early as December 2025, signaling more hurdles are on the way.
