H-1B Visa: Offer to increase wages by 30 percent under H1B visa

  The US has proposed a 30 percent increase in the minimum wage set to retain workers under the H1B visa program. The administration claims that the move will help prevent foreigners from undercutting American citizens’ wages. The new rule, introduced by the US Department of Labor on March 27, will increase the minimum wage for four categories, from entry-level to the most experienced.

The department argues that the current wages were set 20 years ago and have failed to adequately protect American workers. According to the proposed rule, titled ‘Improving Wage Protection for Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Foreign Nationals in the United States’, the wage for entry-level foreign workers is proposed to be increased to $97,746 annually, $123,212 for Level Two, $147,333 for Level Three and $175,464 for Level Four. The proposed wages could vary from city to city. Public comments on the new rules are being sought until May 26. According to the Department of Labor, current practices result in employers hiring foreigners at significantly lower wages than American workers.
