Trump administration sued by US Chamber of Commerce over $100K H-1B fee — What it means and will the fee be waived?

The US Chamber of Commerce on Thursday filed a lawsuit, challenging the Donald Trump administration’s decision to impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions. The Chamber contends that the imposition of the new fee is unlawful and exceeds the executive branch’s authority.

According to the lawsuit, the new fee overrides provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that govern the H-1B visa programme, including the requirement that visa fees should be based on the costs incurred by the government to process them.
