A federal judge ruled on Monday that the Trump administration has the authority to impose additional fees of up to six figures on high-skilled foreign workers under the H1B visa program. According to reports, the judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington determined that the decision made by the Trump administration last September did not exceed its authority. She noted that Congress has granted significant discretion to the executive branch in immigration law, allowing it to set visa entry conditions. The ruling confirmed that the Trump administration's requirement for H1B visa applicants to pay $100,000 in fees falls within the scope of congressional authorization. This decision provides judicial support for the Trump administration's policy of increasing costs and tightening access to high-skilled immigrants, which may also have a profound impact on companies relying on H1B visas to bring in technical talent.
