Browsing: $100000 H-1B fee

A Colorado court ruling invalidating steep EB-5 fee increases is being hailed as a victory for investors—and a potential precedent for challenges to President Trump’s controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee.

Unions, educators, religious groups, and employers argue the six-figure fee will cripple hospitals, schools, and innovation, while critics say Trump exceeded his authority by rewriting a visa program Congress created.

The top Republicans and Democrats on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee have revived a bipartisan push to overhaul the H-1B and L-1 visa programs, saying the system has been misused by large corporations at the expense of American workers.

A possible solution is to have employees work from GCCs in India, or find a temporary placement outside the U.S., says Abe Abraham, a partner at law firm.

The proclamation bypasses Congress, sparks fears of job losses and a talent drain, and leaves attorneys and employers scrambling for clarity.
