DHS to appeal US court on order blocking $100,000 H-1B fee

 The Department of Homeland Security is urging an appeals court to reinstate a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, arguing a judge’s block harms immigration enforcement. The fee, intended to curb foreign worker replacement of Americans, was struck down by a judge citing separation of powers. DHS contends the President has authority for such measures, warning that delays allow more foreign workers entry, potentially causing irreparable damage. The Department of Homeland Security is urging an appeals court to reinstate a $100,000 H-1B visa fee, arguing a judge’s block harms immigration enforcement.
