The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications. The Chamber says the fee violates existing U.S. immigration laws and makes it too expensive for companies to hire skilled foreign workers. The fee was introduced to discourage replacing American workers with cheaper foreign labour but affects start-ups and small businesses most. Neil Bradley of the Chamber said the H-1B program is meant to help all U.S. businesses access global talent. The fee is set for one year but may be extended. (PC: The Hindu)
