There are two unpublished rules. DHS rule that you mention ( https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2020-22347/strengthening-the-h-1b-nonimmigrant-visa-classification-program https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2020-22347... ; goes in effect in 60 days) and DOL rule establishing the percentiles ( https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/oflc/pdfs/DOL-Interim-Final-Rule-Strengthening-Wage-Protections-for-the-Temporary-and-Permanent-Employment-of-Certain-Aliens-in-the-United-States.pdf https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/oflc/pdfs/DOL-Int... ; goes in effect this week).
- jl2718 6y agoThat is insanely complicated. I know it would cost a lot of governmemt jobs to simplify, but, why not just a lottery for a set number? Or a set salary floor? One thing I don’t understand is the ridiculously low “entry level” wage set at 17%. Those are the jobs we need to protect the most to get disadvantaged americans into the pipeline. 17% is the zone of broad mis-classification, like a ‘computer systems analyst’ that works at the library, or academic jobs, or sweat equity workers.
- bpmooch 6y agoThe complexity of the system acts a deterrent to applications. The point is is to force H-1B's to exist as a lever you start pulling when your business depends on it, not as labor force optimizations for capital-flush companies.

- nullspace 6y agoDo you have a source for this? And what do you mean by “withdrawn”?

Just a lot of FUD in the comment and WSJ article. I'd hope they do better research than what I did in 30 mins.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on that." https://twitter.com/gsiskind/status/1311766795217514499?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1311824945752801281%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredbus2us.com%2Fh1b-perm-wage-levels-rule%2F https://twitter.com/gsiskind/status/1311766795217514499?ref_...
- belltaco 6y agoNah you're wrong. They withdrew that one on Sep 30th since it needed economic analysis and fast tracked it as an emergency, which is unprecedented. https://twitter.com/gsiskind/status/1311766795217514499?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1311824945752801281%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredbus2us.com%2Fh1b-perm-wage-levels-rule%2F https://twitter.com/gsiskind/status/1311766795217514499?ref_...
- tequila_shot 6y agoOK, I'm wrong about it being yesterday (or) do you've any source that the rule is still active?
