SPECIAL EDITION: USCIS Creates Wage-Based System for H-1B Cap Subject Petitions
In this special edition of the M&L Immigration Update Podcast we explore the new rule entitled “Modification of Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions,” which ends the H-1B lottery as we know it and instead establishes a wage-based selection process.
The H-1B registrations will be selected based on registrations listing the highest offered wage which equals or exceeds the prevailing wage as established by the Occupational Employment Statistics (“OES”) for the relevant Standard Occupational Classification (“SOC”) code in the area of intended employment.
Meyner & Landis has been following these developments closely and we’ve distilled about 200 pages of information to bring you this 12 minute summary
