In the News Today USA in Punjabi, the Trump administration announced it will face lawsuits challenging the newly imposed $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications. Officials stated that the visa system has long been subject to abuse, and significant changes are needed to prioritize American workers.
On September 19, President Trump decided to raise the fee for new H-1B visas to $100,000 (approx. ₹8.8 million). This move could significantly impact Indian professionals residing in the U.S. on H-1B visas. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), nearly 71% of approved H-1B applications in recent years have been from Indian nationals.
Last week, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the new fee.
Several unions, business owners, and religious organizations have also challenged the H-1B fee in a federal court in California, while the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a separate lawsuit in a federal court in Columbia on October 16, contesting the president’s order.
The H-1B visa continues to be highly popular among Indian professionals in the United States.
