He is not being obtuse. You can't just say "it's the prevailing wage" when the whole purpose of H1B's is to increase the supply of knowledge labour, thereby decreasing said prevailing wage.
- alephnerd 4y agoPrevailing wage is a minimum wage the USCIS generates per job type for the H1B. You need to pay at least the prevailing wage to get an H1B for your employee. Not doing so becomes immigration fraud.
