Published: 10/16/2025

The US Chamber of Commerce has sued the Trump administration over a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visas for skilled workers, arguing it would harm American businesses. The fee, part of Trump's executive order targeting abuse of the visa program, has drawn criticism from tech executives like Elon Musk. Critics say the fee makes it cost-prohibitive for US employers to use the program, impacting the tech sector and potentially undercutting the American workforce.
