The Trump administration is set to defend its $100,000 annual fee for H-1B visa applicants in U.S. courts, citing the need to protect American workers and curb fraud in the visa program. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the H-1B system has been exploited, affecting wages for U.S. citizens. The policy faces multiple lawsuits from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, unions, and industry groups, who argue the fee is unlawful and could harm U.S. industries reliant on skilled foreign workers. Legal proceedings are expected to test the administration’s immigration strategy.
