H-1B Visa News: A new crisis has arisen in America regarding H-1B visa. President Donald Trump banned the visa. Now a case has been filed in the court against Trump’s decision.

A big controversy has arisen in the US over the H-1B (H-1B) visa. A case has been filed in the court on Friday against the order of President Donald Trump, in which a new fee of $ 1 lakh (about 88 lakh rupees) has been imposed for visa application. Preparations to suddenly implement this order created chaos between the companies and the employees. Trump signed the order on 19 September. He says that the H-1B visa program is being misused and American employees have been replaced by cheap foreign workers. According to Trump, these increased visas prices are necessary to save the American job market. But critics say that this step is arbitrary, impractical and illegal.
H-1B visa importance
The H-1B visa program was created by the US Congress to attract high skills in special areas. It was told in the petition that about one-third of H-1B visa nurses, teachers, doctors, researchers and religious workers are available. This visa in history has always been given from the lottery system. This year Amazon got the highest number of more than 10,000 visas. After this, companies like Tata Consultancy, Microsoft, Apple and Google were prominent beneficiaries. The highest number of H-1B visa holders live in California.
Why is Trump’s decision being considered wrong?
Opponents of Trump’s policy say that the new fee will prevent the world’s best minds from bringing America. The union of the university professors called it ‘attack on scientific research’. Mike Miller, director of United Automobile Workers Union, said that this scheme gives priority to money and relationships rather than hard work and merit. Sky Periman, CEO of Democracy Forward, described it as an ‘illegal fee invited to corruption’.
