A federal district court in California has blocked USCIS, CBP, and the State Department from enforcing or implementing policies related to the proclamation-based $100,000 H-1B payment requirement.
The California ruling represents another adverse federal district court decision involving the $100,000 payment, which is already blocked pursuant to a in Massachusetts that is currently on appeal.
The court order does not affect the U.S. Department of Homeland Security鈥檚 (DHS) separately proposed $103,265 fee for H-1B cap-subject petitions, which remains in the rulemaking process and is not currently in effect.
