A coalition of labor unions, health care providers, religious organizations, and university professors filed a lawsuit on Oct. 3 seeking to prevent the Trump administration from imposing a one-time $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications.
The coalition sought to challenge President Donald Trump’s Sept. 18 proclamation introducing the six-figure fee for new H-1B visa applications—a program that allows U.S. companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupation fields.
