H1B visa new rules : Who is going to challenge it?

I see the rules for new minimum wage meaning anyone with masters and couple of years of experience would make 208k in Bay area. I don't see any law firm or companies speaking against this? Are we going to allow this? Will people be fired?

What exactly are you challenging? Are you saying a country has no right to set wage criteria for aliens seeking to work temporarily within its borders?

Wolf and Cuccinelli are illegally appointed and anything they sign as a rule is invalid.

Lol Exxon. So worried about country's rights. Yeah, everyone is simply comin' to getta y'r riightss.. Unfortunately your lovin' president didn't follow the right process and shoved this in the rule books. If he had asked for comments for 60 days, he'd have received the comments.

Unfortunately it looks like Trump is getting support with this ruling / sentiment not only from fellow Americans but also from Desi community with GC / citizenship status so they can protect career interests for themselves and their offsprings. Hypocrisy personified!

Those are the worst. I hope they go after all the GCs and even converted citizens who are not earning these wages or haven't earned these for a while unless retired and revoke their stuff.

Amazon Earthman Oct 13, 2020

Rightt??? Indians are inherently selfish and hypocrytic. Its in the fucking blood. Thos GC desis are the worst. They live in USA and will never step back in India and have the highest pride for their home country. Bunch of hypocrytes

How did you come up with 208k for bay area ?

Ironclad #TC Oct 8, 2020

208k base or TC?

Bank of America jerrypink Oct 8, 2020

Always base

Ironclad #TC Oct 8, 2020

Then Amazon is fucked. Don't they have a cap on base salary?

Juniper chaching__ Oct 8, 2020

So 2 years with masters comes under Level 4 wage level ? 208k is for level 4 right ?

Esri klokov_v3 Oct 8, 2020

Not really. I have seen folks at MS with masters and 5+ YOE at level 3 on their LCA.

Microsoft ubbikd Oct 8, 2020

Level depends on the qualifications required for the job I think. Not on the qualifications you have

Microsoft fOJW15 Oct 8, 2020

The entire amazon hq will be shut down with their 160k base cap policy.. For reference l3 wages in Seattle is around 195k.. l2 is 165k.. The new wages make no sense in Seattle

Microsoft PhjL63 Oct 9, 2020

New restriction Only applied to new H1B applications

Microsoft fOJW15 Oct 9, 2020

Not true

Doesn't all on blind make 1M per year?

Veeva vpfT40 Oct 8, 2020

Thats because stonks always go up

Amazon 🌈🐻📉; Oct 8, 2020

TC or GTFO

I'm sorry, is there any solid source saying this is just base salary? Countless threads but only speculation about this. It could be based on the amount you file on the tax forms. In that case, it'll be TC and a great move. If not, it's pretty questionable and really impractical and will be struck down in courts. I guess the aim is to keep high skilled high tax paying workers. The tax is on TC and not on base. This is the main source of confusion
