US President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order approving a $100,000 fee for the H-1B visa on September 19 has faced its first major challenge. According to the lawsuit, about one-third of H-1B workers serve as nurses, teachers, scholars, pastors, and physicians. The lawsuit sought an immediate injunction to block the fee and restore stability to the H-1B application process. Critics of Trump’s new H-1B fee alleged that the program has been used to significantly undercut American wages, citing instances of foreign workers accepting significantly lower salaries. Tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google remain heavily reliant on H-1B visas to meet their workforce demands.
