US Appeals Court Again Blocks $100,000 Fee on New H-1B Work Visas

A federal appeals court has rejected the US government's attempt to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B work visas. The court ruled that the government failed to demonstrate its legal authority to introduce such a charge.

With the appeal unsuccessful, the lower court's order blocking the fee continues to remain in force.
