[U.S. Judge Halts Trump's $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee Order] BlockBeats News, June 9: A federal judge has overturned Trump's order imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, providing relief to U.S. tech companies that rely on hiring highly skilled foreign workers. U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin of Massachusetts ruled on Monday that Trump's executive order, which significantly increased the cost of applying for this popular visa, constitutes an illegal tax and must be rescinded. It is expected that the U.S. government will appeal the ruling. [Original Link]
