US President Donald Trump's move to impose an $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers was struck down by a federal court today. US District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston said the fee was an unlawful tax that the Congress had never authorised, reported news agency Reuters. The ruling came on a lawsuit filed by 20 Democratic state attorneys general challenging the fee Trump announced in September.
The H-1B programme offers 65,000 visas annually, with another 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees, approved for three to six years. Employers seeking a visa for a foreign worker used to pay a fee of around $2,000 to $5,000.
