US businesses and law firms are preparing to sue the Trump administration over its decision to impose a substantial fee on the hiring of foreign workers. President Trump, through a Proclamation, has imposed a $100,000 H-1B visa petition fee to be paid by a US employer before hiring a foreign worker.
According to Bloomberg, the US Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest business lobby, is soliciting support from its members for a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its changes to the visa system for skilled foreign workers.
