District court vacates $100,000 H-1B visa filing fee
The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts June 8 vacated the $100,000 fee for new H-1B visas established by a proclamation in September 2025. Judge Leo T. Sorkin declared the fees unlawful and said in his decision that it "exceeds the fee-setting authority delegated by Congress." The AHA last year asked the administration to make healthcare personnel exempt from the fees. The federal government is likely to appeal the June 8 decision.
