US court blocks Trump-era H-1B visa fee hike
Two US district courts have temporarily blocked the enforcement of a Trump-era policy that imposed a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, specifically impacting Indian technology firms. This policy, which aimed to increase fines for employers violating certain immigration rules, including those related to self-deportation, would have resulted in approximately $1.8 million in fines. The courts' decision offers relief to Indian firms that depend on H-1B visas for skilled workers.
