On September 19, 2025, a $100,000 Fee for H-1B employment petitions was established by the "Presidential Proclamation: Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers." Due to a pending lawsuit and interim federal court decision, the Fee is currently unenforceable and cannot be charged. As a result, for tenure-track faculty positions, Cal State Fullerton is currently able to consider sponsoring applicants for H-1B employment. However, a future court decision or governmental action could change the Fee's status. For that reason, whether Cal State Fullerton is able and willing to serve as a sponsor will depend on the actual status of the Fee at the time an eligible candidate is selected. As previously noted, Cal State Fullerton will not sponsor applicants for H-1B employment who are subject to the Fee.
