The US Department of Labor announced plans to revise the methodology for calculating “prevailing wages” for foreign workers under visa programs such as H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3, as well as for permanent immigration pathways like EB-2 and EB-3. This revision aims to ensure that wages reflect the current labor market conditions and may significantly affect Indian workers and recent graduates seeking employment in the US.
Key Details:
- The revision affects H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, EB-2, and EB-3 visa programs.
- New wage calculations will be based on updated labor market data.
- The changes are expected to impact the hiring of foreign workers in the US.
- The notice for revision was issued by the Department of Labor recently.
This policy change could lead to higher wage requirements for employers hiring foreign workers, potentially influencing job opportunities for many immigrants. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
