      Chamber of Commerce Sues Over Trump’s New $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee

      The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a federal lawsuit on October 16, 2025, arguing that the Trump administration’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee is “unlawful and economically damaging.” The Chamber says the fee exceeds the limits allowed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and would severely restrict U.S. companies’ access to skilled foreign talent — especially in tech and engineering. The case, Chamber of Commerce v. DHS (No. 25-cv-3675), is currently before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, making it a major development for employers tracking H-1B compliance and cost risk.
