Chamber of Commerce v. Department of Homeland Security
Case Overview
The Chamber of Commerce sued the Trump administration over the changes to the H-1B visa program which would require the employers of workers on a H-1B visa to pay the federal government $100,000.
The Application
The Chamber of Commerce argued the fee requirement lacked statutory basis and violated the APA's procedural requirements, while DHS asserted the action fell within its delegated authority to administer the H-1B program. The court examined whether the fee structure represented a permissible exercise of executive power over visa administration.
The Conclusion
Judge Beryl A. Howell issued a decision on October 16, 2025, determining the validity of the H-1B fee requirement under applicable administrative and immigration law.
