U.S. Chamber of Commerce sues Trump administration over $100,000 H-1B visa fee
CNBC ^ | 10/16/2025 | Lillian Rizzo

e U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Thursday filed a lawsuit over the Trump administration imposing a $100,000 fee to the H-1B worker visas.

-snip-

In a release regarding the lawsuit on Thursday, the Chamber called the new fee unlawful since it "overrides provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that govern the H-1B program, including the requirement that fees be based on the costs incurred by the government in processing visas."

"The new $100,000 visa fee will make it cost-prohibitive for U.S. employers, especially start-ups and small and midsize businesses, to utilize the H-1B program, which was created by Congress expressly to ensure that American businesses of all sizes can access the global talent they need to grow their operations here in the U.S.," said Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber in the release.

A White House representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t hire H1B. How did they have standing? Texas didn’t have standing to challenge fraud from another state in a federal election, even though it affected every state for one to put out fraudulent results. If H1B are not hired by the Chamber of Commerce to work at the Chamber of Commerce, it’s hard to see how they have standing.

Per its original purpose, any company hiring an H-1b candidate should be willing to pay the fee if they’re really that good.

I find it hard to believe that I align with kiryandil on this.

Marcus, stop the racial name calling. Freerepublic.com is a conservative site, not a racist one. In the 25 years I’ve been posting I see that we welcome all colours of skin as long as they are conservative.

Stop your name calling please, this only makes free republic look bad
