A federal judge has ruled that a controversial $100,000 fee on certain new H-1B visa petitions is unlawful, finding that the charge functioned as a tax rather than a legitimate immigration-related penalty.

According to Rose Law Group Immigration Law Department Chair Darius Amiri, the court determined that because the Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the authority to impose taxes, the administration lacked the legal authority to create the fee through executive action alone.

Although the federal government is expected to appeal the decision, employers considering hiring foreign talent may proceed without the additional $100,000 fee while the ruling remains in effect. Before the policy, government filing fees for H-1B petitions generally ranged from approximately $2,000 to $5,000.

A federal court has struck down USCIS policies that paused immigration benefit applications for individuals from certain countries, ruling the agency exceeded its legal authority.

Rose Law Group partner and Immigration Law Department Chair Darius Amiri says the decision is a powerful reminder that immigration agencies cannot impose broad nationality-based processing freezes without proper legal authority. The ruling could have significant implications for green card applications, work permits, asylum cases, and naturalization requests that were delayed under the policy.

“Immigration agencies may investigate, vet, approve, or deny, but they generally cannot place entire categories of applicants into indefinite administrative limbo based solely on nationality,” Amiri said.
