The Trump administration proposed a new $103,265 fee for H-1B visas through a formal regulatory process on Monday, seeking to make permanent a temporary charge that was previously blocked by federal courts. The Department of Homeland Security issued the proposed rule to charge all workers seeking employment in the U.S. under the annual H-1B statutory cap, with the fee intended to finance the administration's immigration crackdown. H-1B visas are heavily used in the tech, education, and research sectors.
