A final ruling was issued by the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts yesterday, finding the Trump Administration’s policy imposing a $100,000 tax payment on new H-1B visa petitions unlawful and vacating it.

“President Trump’s unlawful tax on the H-1B program served only to hamper Vermont’s efforts to fill critical positions in health care, technology, and education. I’m glad the court put an end to yet another blatantly unlawful action by this Administration.” – AG Clark
