The government had received only 85 fee payments, worth $8.5 million in revenue, as of mid-February, according to a government court filing in March. “The $100,000 fee was not a success in terms of revenue generation,” said Bernhard Mueller, co-chair of the immigration practice at the law firm Ogletree Deakins.

"The higher fee did not apply to foreigners already inside the United States on student visas and seeking to stay on to work in America, and it has caused only a small drop in the number of H-1B visas being issued; earlier this year, Capital Economics noted, they were running at the same level as they did in the 2010s, according to a Capital Economics report." |

U.S. District Court Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston ruled that the fee violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs how federal agencies develop and issue regulations. “The Court finds that the Policy imposes a tax on H-1B petitions without the requisite delegation by Congress,” Sorokin wrote.
His ruling contradicted an earlier federal court ruling — in a separate legal challenge to the H-1B fee brought by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — that upheld the charge and kept it in effect until it is scheduled to expire in September.
Yet another lawsuit has also been filed in federal court in San Francisco by religious groups and labor organizations, setting up the possibility of divided rulings in three appellate court circuits. |
