Proposed $103,265 H-1B application fee follows judicial invalidation of prior levy

The U.S. government is proposing a significant fee increase for specific H-1B visa applications following a court ruling that invalidated a previous attempt to impose similar costs. It remains unclear how this specific figure was calculated or if it will face immediate legal challenges similar to its predecessor. This move signals a potential shift in immigration policy aimed at increasing the cost of high-skilled foreign labor.
