US Court Blocks Trump’s Skilled Worker Visa Ban Amid Industry Opposition
A US federal judge blocked President Trump's ban on skilled worker visas, including H-1B and L-1 categories, citing overreach of executive authority. Major tech companies like Apple, Amazon, and Facebook supported the legal challenge, arguing the ban harms the economy and tech sector. Meanwhile, the US saw a rise in H-1B visa approvals despite the suspension. New rules increasing wage requirements and limiting visa validity were introduced, and a separate court injunction halted a planned visa fee hike affecting Indian IT firms and others.
