There is no question that USCIS is more inclined to approve H-1B petitions where the offered wage is above the so-called Level 1 wage, which is the lowest acceptable wage in the DOL wage database.
- tchaffee 9y agoNot sure what USCIS stands for but I think DOL is Department of Labor. I did a search here: http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?code=15-1131&area=41940&year=18&source=1 http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?code=15-11... Which is the Level 1 wage of a computer programmer in Silicon Valley. $55,203... my jaw drops. Clearly companies in the US are using immigrants for cheap labor. This hurts US workers, and the immigrants are being taken advantage of too. Although to someone from a developing country, that salary might look like a dream. I'm still pro-immigrant, but we've got to get the base salaries in line with average salaries of local talent.
