"Unless dependent employers compensate their H-1B workers above the required wage level, they must make
attestations regarding recruitment and non-displacement of U.S. workers"
Does this mean that a company can pay below the 130k if it can prove that it's not possible to hire an American even with higher wages?
- freeone3000 10y agoYes. That's the point of an H-1B visa - to recruit highly-skilled workers when American workers are not available.
- Retric 10y agoYes, the 130k figure does nothing in practice.
- fedeoasi 10y agoAnd yet all the panic portrayed by the press is generated by the 130k figure.
- tn13 10y agoYes. Imagine a school trying to employ a Sanskrit teacher. It is impossible to expect them to pay $130K.
