Fact-check: “Trump propose $103,000 fee for H-1B visas.”
Verdict: Mostly True (92% confidence)
DHS published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on August 25, 2026 that would establish a $103,265 fee for H-1B cap-subject petitions — so the core claim is accurate, with '$103,000' being a rounded figure. The claim correctly uses 'proposed,' matching the rule's status as an NPRM open to public comment for 30 days, not yet a final rule.
