  "account": "Vice President JD Vance has expressed support for a proposed $103,265 fee on H-1B applications, urging American companies to \"hire and train Americans\" instead. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently proposed the fee, which would apply to all cap-subject H-1B petitions but not to cap-exempt H-1B petitions. The proposed fee could generate approximately $8.8 billion annually for various federal agencies involved in immigration-related activities. Vance's stance aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to reshape the pathway for foreign workers in the US, following a previous $100,000 fee imposed by the administration which was later ruled unlawful by a federal judge.",
  "summary": "The DHS proposed a $103,265 fee for all new H-1B applications, less than three months after its initial plan to impose a $100,000 fee was struck down.",
