The State Department is targeting B1 and B2 visa holders who entered as tourists or business travelers and then filed for asylum, with legal challenges expected.

DHS issued the proposed rule Monday after a federal judge voided a similar $100,000 charge, this time expanding the fee to workers already employed in the United States.

A rule change targeting wealthy foreigners using shell companies to secure visas has cut business-management visa applications by 96 percent, threatening thousands of Nepalese-run restaurants.
