$100,000 H-1B fee immigration case heats up ahead of December 19 oral arguments

The new $100k H-1B visa fee dispute is getting heated up as the plaintiffs, US Chamber of Commerce and the Association of American Universities, have submitted their response to the Trump administration’s defense of the president’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee, on December 10.

The Justice Department’s claim that the president has, in effect, unrestricted power to impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa holders through a September 19 presidential proclamation has been rejected by the plaintiffs in their move for summary judgment and opposition to the defendants’ cross-motion.
