Lawsuit Filed Over $100K H1-B Visa Fee

By discouraging the best and brightest minds from around the world — individuals who have enriched American industry for decades, we have sent the message: You’re not welcome here. Go elsewhere.  

What hasn’t hit home and is dangerously shortsighted and will weaken our economy, putting our global leadership at risk, is that these highly skilled and educated are in demand worldwide.  They can go anywhere — and they will. 

A coalition of health care providers, religious groups, unions, higher education and educators filed a lawsuit last week to stop the H-1B fee, saying it would harm hospitals, churches, schools and industries that rely on the visa. The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment and referred a query to its website. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court Northern District of California. It argues that President Trump lacks the authority to impose such a fee, that it was implemented without required public comment, and that it is arbitrary and capricious.  

We will follow this topic carefully and keep you advised of any and all progress.
