Hypocrisy of Indians
#workvisa #h1b The new wage rates are out and are significantly higher than before. I believe this would be the final nail in the coffin for most of the H1Bs, specially the ones working on contract and even as FTEs as the LCA is only filed on base salary and doesn’t include stocks/bonuses that are not fixed Also for Sr. folks, having to file in Level-4 would kill the H1s. Search your MSA minimum salaries below https://www.flcdatacenter.com/TrainingCodes.aspx Wizard You selected the All Industries database for 10/8/2020 - 6/30/2021. Your search returned the following: Print Format Area Code:38060 Area Title:Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ OES/SOC Code:15-1132 OES/SOC Title:Software Developers, Applications GeoLevel:1 Level 1 Wage:$44.56 hour - $92,685 year Level 2 Wage:$56.23 hour - $116,958 year Level 3 Wage:$67.91 hour - $141,253 year Level 4 Wage:$79.58 hour - $165,526 year Mean Wage (H-2B):$48.61 hour - $101,109 year
Don't worry about this. There will be litigation on this soon and everything will go back to normal.
Source?
Why do you need source for this ? Everything Trump has done recently against H1B has been challenged in court. Trump administration has lost every lawsuit. They couldn't block H1B coming into the country, couldn't block H4 EAD. How could they block this ?
@OP - can you elaborate on this - “Also for Sr. folks, having to file in Level-4 would kill the H1s.”
I read an article yesterday which stated that if you have a bachelors degree and have 4+ yrs of work ex, you now need to file the wages in L4. I will find that article and share the details. Previously the companies used to take advantage of a lower level wage L2 and get away with it. Edited above, see the attached screenshot
In my case first h1b transfer Master with 5yr experience then got filed as level 2 and all other renewals until current 3rd h1b renewal filed as level2 from same company.
Current target is obviously consulting companies. But that may just be the start. The long term goal is to push all immigrants out
Not true. You just mad
From the new wage levels, it looks like the target is all H1Bs
What happens where the wage is not posted?
It will get posted eventually. Wait for that!
So what happens in the interim
What happens to the one registered in March 2020 , but got picked only in last month second lottery ? The new wage levels are exorbitantly high
Following
They said that it would not impact
This is not a minor increase in wages. They’re fairly substantial and could be a serious deterrence. However, the rule has been so poorly crafted and rolled out that it almost seems like the agency wanted to please their extremist political constituencies and didn’t care if it would survive litigation
Been a long time coming. H1-B is supposed to be a high skilled visa and it became a sweat shop shitty wage visa.
Expedia, did you copied this text from somewhere or I just had deja vu?
Can somebody tell the code for PMs?
I think at Microsoft is 15-1132. At least mine is
Sometimes 15-1132, sometimes 15-1199 (it project managers category)
Guys relax if this gets implemented there will be a mass deportation, your company wont overnight increase your salary. This one will be definitely be blocked in the court
It’s already in effect
Oh then in that case start packing the bags, let me know if you need contact details of good movers and packers
Expedia . And it's confusing too. "Effective immediately ", "After 60 days goes into effect " ? They are quite contradicting and law firms say that they are likely to be challenged.
The DOL wage level is effective from Oct 8
Clearly the person who wrote this(or copy pasted) has no clue: “Doctoral Degree Completion of the degree program usually requires at least 3 years of full-time equivalent academic work beyond the bachelor's degree.”
I know everything related to this and being on H1b for a lot of years here in the states, so you better check your own facts 😀
My comment was for the text on the website that is in quotes . Wasnt directed towards this post.
