There's a lot more than that they need to address. Fake job listings with rock bottom salaries so they can claim they can't find US workers, paying H1B people far below market value, job-shopping in personal networks when someone loses an H1B job (favor trading to get a "job" while they find another real job to keep their H1B status) are all huge issues. Another issue is employers using H2B status against employees to extract unpaid labor, lower wages, and unethical behavior or else they'll be fired and reported instantly.

H-1B salaries are public [0], so it is easy to debunk this. The minimum prevailing wage for the area and location is in place for this very reason. > ... job-shopping in personal networks when someone loses an H1B job ... If anything, this demonstrates that the current system is inhumane, and it should be more lenient towards H-1B holders. [0] https://h1bdata.info https://h1bdata.info

Unfortunately wage fraud and theft are real things that happen. You don't have to believe me, you can find buckets of H1B holders who will verify this. I've seen it myself, I've been in IT for 30 years and seen personally, many times, everything I listed in my comment.
- manuelabeledo 3y agoI would like to see some concrete proof of this, though. I myself was a visa holder not long ago. Outside of Internet forums, I haven’t been able to find anyone who would claim that visa wage fraud exist.
