US President Donald Trump’s new H-1B visa plan is faced with legal issues in San Francisco’s federal courts. Unions, employers, and religious groups filed a lawsuit to block the president’s order imposing a one-time $ 100,000 fee for the H-1B visa application.
During this decision, the lawsuit indicates a change in unprecedented H-1B programs.
The petitioners argue that the president has no authority to unilaterally impose fees or taxes to generate profits, and cannot instruct how the funds are spent. The lawsuit said, “The defendant Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States and sues his official capabilities,” the lawsuit said.
India’s Phoenix Doe Story
This lawsuit lands at the point by quoting the example of the manuscript Phoenix doe. DOE is depicted as an Indian citizen living in northern California. She is a post-doctoral researcher with a $ 100,000 fee and a CAP-INCEMPT H-1B petition.
“Her study focuses on identifying the genetic and epigenetic causes of diseases such as aging, diabetes and unknown genetic losses, and achieves a goal to find new ways to diagnose and treat blind conditions.
The university claims to depend on the DOE as the first doctoral scholar to build, develop research programs and secure future funds, and continuous work is expected to continue for at least two years.
The lawsuit added, “As a result of the declaration, her university suspended the suspension of indefinite suspension by handling the application.”
“She is stressing and anxious due to her uncertainty, which makes her worse. The manuscript’s Phoenix will leave a post -doctoral position within four months without slogan, causing serious professional and personal damage.”
This lawsuit emphasizes how the H-1B visa fee hike interferes with her career and aims to develop an important study that aims to develop her career.
“Her departure will interfere with the ability to return her important research and to secure the continuous work and future research funds of the laboratory, and to prevent the department’s future funds and delay the availability of the treatment of her focus.”
The new H-1B fee is ‘interfering with innovation’
The incident is pursued by the Democratic Program Foundation and several religious organizations on behalf of the United Auto Workers Union, the American University Professor Association, the Ministry of Justice’s Action Center, and the Global Nurse.
The lawsuit also criticizes the federal agency, including the US Citizenship and Immigration and the State Department of the Ministry of Land, Security, for fulfilling orders without considering the appropriate rules decision procedures or its impact.
These groups warned that “breaking down a huge fee will interfere with innovation.”
The H-1B Visa Program allows US employers to hire foreign workers, especially in the technical field. In normal situations, employers who sponsor H-1B visas sponsor $ 2,000 to $ 5,000.
But the Trump administration’s order prohibits a new visa recipient to enter the United States unless the sponsor pays $ 100,000.
