"California's top lawyer slammed the Trump administration over its decision to put a $100,000 application fee on the widely used H-1B visa program for skilled workers, saying it creates "uncertainty and unpredictability" for businesses in his state and that he is reviewing its legality. The changes announced by President Donald Trump last week will have an "adverse impact" on California, which has relied on the visa program for many years to help drive innovation,"
"Trump's policy, his biggest step yet toward overhauling the legal migration system in the US, would drastically increase the cost of a program popular with some of the largest American companies. The H-1B program has become a lightning rod in conservative circles as critics argue that recipients displace American workers. The H-1B visa program is especially important for the tech sector, which uses it to bring in skilled workers from abroad. Finance companies and consulting firms also use the program."
California Attorney General Rob Bonta criticized the Trump administration's decision to impose a $100,000 application fee on the H-1B visa program, saying it creates uncertainty and unpredictability for state businesses and that he is reviewing its legality. He said the change will have an adverse impact on California, which has relied on H-1B visas to drive innovation. He stated he will assess legal violations and challenge unlawful policies. He noted the H-1B program is crucial for the tech sector, finance and consulting firms. He is examining potential violations of the Administrative Procedure Act.
