Taxa de 100.000 de dolari pentru vizele lucrătorilor străini cu înaltă calificare, blocată de un al doilea judecător federal din SUA

A federal judge in the U.S. has temporarily blocked a $100,000 fee imposed by the Trump administration for H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers. This decision follows a previous suspension by a Boston federal court. Judge Haywood Gilliam ruled that the USCIS and State Department did not follow necessary procedures before implementing the fee. The ruling is not a final resolution of the dispute over the fee, which was initially set to expire on September 21 but has been extended by Trump for another year. The H-1B program allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialized fields, and the new fee significantly increases costs for employers.
