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. This decision upholds an earlier lower court ruling that had already blocked the fee, which was first proposed in 2025. The proposed fee would have substantially raised costs for employers seeking to hire skilled foreign workers. With the appeal unsuccessful, the lower court's order blocking the fee continues to remain in force.
