This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. The United States Chamber of Commerce sued the Trump administration on Thursday over the new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. It also argues that the executive order is unlawful because it "blatantly contravenes the fees Congress has set for the H-1B program."
