BOSTON, July 24 (Reuters) – A federal appeals court on Friday rejected a bid by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to halt a judge’s order preventing it from imposing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers.
The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to put on hold a lower court judge’s June 8 ruling striking down the fee on the basis that it constituted an unlawful tax Congress never authorized.
