波士顿一名联邦法官叫停了特朗普政府提出的10万美元H-1B签证费，称这是一项未经国会批准的非法税收。这项于去年实施的政策将签证费从2000至5000美元大幅上调，旨在优先保护美国公民。白宫计划对该裁决提起上诉。

特朗普政府于周一公布一项提案，将针对受年度配额限制的高技能外籍工人H-1B签证申请正式设定逾10万美元的前所未有的收费标准，取代去年通过总统公告首次实施、目前已被联邦法院叫停的收费政策。
美国国土安全部拟议的新规将对每份受年度法定配额限制的H-1B签证申请收取103265美元的额外费用，包括符合高级学位豁免条件的申请。
这类外籍劳工签证在科技、教育和研究行业中被广泛依赖。
这笔费用将用于覆盖联邦政府管理合法移民体系的成本，包括国土安全部、司法部、国务院和劳工部开展的相关工作。

“拟议的H-1B收费旨在收回联邦政府 across 整个政府范围内审理、审核和支持合法移民项目所产生的成本，否则这些成本将由纳税人承担，”美国公民及移民服务局发言人扎克·卡勒在一份新闻稿中表示。
这项去年由唐纳德·特朗普总统政府首次临时实施的收费政策，于今年6月被一名联邦法官叫停，该裁决禁止联邦政府收取这笔费用。
一家上诉法院正在审理该法官的裁决，与此同时另一家法院正在审议一家大型商业团体对该收费政策的质疑是否应被驳回。
临时收费上调政策将于下个月到期，距其实施已满一年。国土安全部的拟议新规已于周一公开供公众查阅，计划于周二在《联邦公报》上正式发布，该新规将使103265美元的收费标准永久化。
这项收费政策有望在今年年底前最终敲定。

H-1B签证项目允许美国雇主雇佣拥有特殊职业技能培训背景的外籍工人，常规配额下每年发放65000份签证。
另有20000份签证发放给拥有美国院校硕士及以上学位的外籍工人，签证有效期通常为三年，通常可延长至总计六年。据路透社报道，在特朗普发布行政命令之前，这类签证的收费通常在2000至5000美元之间。
拟议的新收费标准将适用于所有受配额限制的H-1B签证申请，包括为已在美国境内的外籍学生申请转换为H-1B身份提交的申请。该收费不适用于不受配额限制的H-1B签证申请；现有H-1B持有者的常规延期申请通常不受年度配额限制。
特朗普曾辩称，许多企业滥用H-1B项目，用更廉价的外籍劳工取代美国工人。但商业团体和众多美国企业则辩称，该项目对于解决某些岗位合格美国工人短缺的问题至关重要，同时也能让美国公司引进最顶尖的技能型人才以支撑美国经济。
根据法庭文件，截至今年2月底，约有70家雇主为共计85份签证申请支付了10万美元的费用。

美国商会、民主党领导的州以及工会和雇主联盟正对这项收费政策提起诉讼。
一旦本周提出的新规最终敲定，相关诉讼可能会被修改，以挑战这项新规。
特朗普政府还下令加强对H-1B签证申请人的背景审查，并提出了一项新的签证遴选程序，将优先考虑技能更高、薪资更好的工人。
本月早些时候，国土安全部对H-1B工人的延期申请或外籍雇员调往美国的申请新增了最高4500美元的费用。

Trump administration proposes six-figure price tag for new H-1B visas

The Department of Homeland Security rule would codify a charge previously blocked by a federal judge

A federal judge in Boston has blocked the Trump administration’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee, stating it is an unauthorized tax without congressional approval. The policy, enacted last year, drastically increased the fee from $2,000-$5,000 to prioritize U.S. citizens. The White House plans to appeal the decision.

The Trump administration unveiled a proposal on Monday to codify an unprecedented fee of more than $100,000 for cap-subject H-1B petitions for highly skilled foreign workers, replacing a charge first imposed by presidential proclamation last year that has thus far been blocked by a federal court.
The Department of Homeland Security’s proposed rule would charge $103,265 as an additional fee for every H-1B petition subject to the annual statutory cap, including petitions eligible for the advanced-degree exemption.
The worker visas are heavily relied on in the tech, education and research industries.
The fee would be used to cover the federal government’s costs of administering the legal immigration system, including actions carried out by DHS and the Department of Justice, Department of State and Department of Labor.

“The proposed H‑1B fee is intended to recover the costs incurred across the federal government to adjudicate, vet, and support lawful immigration programs that otherwise must be funded by taxpayers,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a news release.
The fee, which was first temporarily imposed by President Donald Trump’s administration last year, was blocked by a federal judge in June in an order that barred the federal government from collecting the money.
An appeals court is reviewing the judge’s decision while a different court considers whether a challenge to the fee by a major business group was properly rejected.
The temporary fee increase expires next month, one year after it was issued. The proposed rule by DHS was posted for public inspection Monday and is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday. It would make the $103,265 fee permanent.
The charge could be finalized by the end of the year.

The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers with training in specialty occupations, with 65,000 of these visas offered annually under the regular cap.
Another 20,000 are offered for workers with a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution, generally granted for up to three years but typically extendable to a total of six years. Those visas typically came with fees between $2,000 and $5,000 before Trump’s order, according to Reuters.
The proposed fee would apply to all cap-subject H-1B petitions, including petitions filed for some foreign students already in the United States seeking to change to H-1B status. It would not apply to cap-exempt H-1B petitions; routine extensions for current H-1B holders generally are not subject to the annual cap.
Trump has argued that the H-1B program is abused by many companies who replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. But business groups and many U.S. companies have contended that the program is needed to address a lack of qualified American workers for certain jobs and to allow American firms to bring in the most skilled workers to support the U.S. economy.
According to court filings, about 70 employers had paid the $100,000 fee on a total of 85 visa applications as of late February.

The fee is being challenged by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce of Democratic-led states and a coalition of labor unions and employers.
Those complaints could be altered to challenge the rule proposed this week once it is finalized.
The Trump administration has also ordered increased vetting of H-1B applicants and proposed a new visa selection process that would favor higher-skilled and better-paid workers.
Earlier this month, DHS added fees of up to $4,500 to applications to extend the stay of H-1B workers or to transfer employees based in other countries to the U.S.
