The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to prevent the implementation of a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. The Chamber argues that the fee exceeds statutory authority and could significantly impact the hiring of specialized workers in the technology, manufacturing, and cryptocurrency sectors. The lawsuit claims the fee is 'plainly unlawful' and warns that it could make it financially unfeasible for many employers, especially startups and small businesses, to sponsor H-1B visas. This move could potentially restrict access to skilled international talent crucial for these industries.
