The Application
The Chamber of Commerce appealed Judge Howell's order upholding the fee, contending that it exceeds the administration's delegated authority and may have violated notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements. The DC Circuit reviews whether the fee falls within the government's statutory power to regulate visa processing.
The Conclusion
The case remains active on appeal before the DC Circuit. The lower court upheld the fee; the appellate outcome will turn on whether the administration's authority and the fee's relationship to legitimate administrative purposes are sustained.
