United States — Ekhbary News Agency

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a controversial plan to levy over $100,000 for H-1B visas, a move that could significantly impact skilled foreign workers in the United States. These visas are specifically for professionals in fields like science and engineering, vital for innovation.

Economic and Legal Obstacles Emerge

Business sectors nationwide have strongly opposed the proposed fee, warning it would radically alter the American economy and impede companies' ability to attract international talent. As it stands, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit recently rejected a request to suspend a decision related to these immigration policies. This judicial stance highlights ongoing legal challenges to efforts aimed at restricting legal migration pathways.
