Wyoming Chamber Supports Challenge to Unlawful H-1B Visa Fee

The Wyoming Chamber stands in support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s legal challenge against the administration’s newly imposed $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions.

This unprecedented fee threatens to make it nearly impossible for Wyoming employers, especially small and midsize businesses, to access the global talent they need to grow and innovate. The U.S. Chamber’s lawsuit argues that the fee violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, which requires visa fees to reflect the actual costs of processing, not act as a barrier to participation.

With Wyoming’s economy poised for growth through tax reform, energy development, and deregulation, access to skilled workers remains essential.
