The case concerns H-1B visa applications that employers must pay for. The issue is that the fee for visas for workers and technicians in the industry would be the equivalent of 943,000 kronor.
In a decision on Monday, federal judge Leo Sorokin in Massachusetts ruled that the fee violates the federal Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution.
The government presented the proposal for the sharply increased fee in September last year.
Many workers in the U.S. technology industry are from countries such as India.
