Washington: The Trump administration has suffered another setback over its decision to impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, after a federal appeals court refused to stay an earlier ruling that struck down the fee hike.
The Boston federal court had previously invalidated the $100,000 fee imposed on H-1B visa applications. The Trump administration subsequently approached the federal appeals court, seeking a stay on the lower court’s decision.
However, the federal appeals court declined to grant the stay and upheld the effect of the Boston federal court’s ruling, dealing another blow to the administration’s efforts to implement the increased H-1B visa fee.
