  "summary": "U.S. President Donald Trump has extended an executive order that would impose a $100,000 fee for H-1B non-immigrant visas by another year, according to the White House. The H-1B visa program allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers, primarily in the tech industry, for a few years. Trump, known for his aggressive immigration policies, has long criticized the program and sought to raise the fee from the current range of $2,000 to $5,000 to at least $100,000. However, this proposal has faced legal challenges, with a Boston-based appeals court currently reviewing a June decision that deemed the higher fee illegal and blocked its implementation. Another court is evaluating whether a judge properly dismissed a challenge to the fee by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest U.S. business lobbying group. Trump's initial order for the fee hike, released in September 2025, was set to expire this month.",
