The South Asian Bar Association of North America Foundation on Sept. 22 sharply condemned the presidential executive order requiring a USD100,000 fee for H-1B visa petitions, calling it “unacceptable and unjust” and warning it would cause fear and confusion among immigrant workers and their families.
In a statement, the South Asian Bar Association of North America Foundation said it unfairly targets South Asian immigrants and undermines decades of contributions to the U.S. economy.
