New H1-B Visa bill doubles the salary requirements to $130K/yr
Here is the summary straight from the horses mouth: https://lofgren.house.gov/uploadedfiles/high_skilled_bill_sx...A few points:- This does not raise the salary requirement to $130k/yr. This only applies to employers that do not want to do the extra paper work for "attestations regarding recruitment and non-displacement of U.S. workers"- It takes a "market based" allocation strategy which allows "cash bonuses and similar compensation" to be included. This is a joke.- Startups and small businesses will get 20% of the visas. It'll be interesting to see how this is gamed- This does not fix the Corporate/Higher Ed partnership loophole- This does not fix the power imbalance between visa holders and employersI personally don't see this bill going anywhere. Zoe just needs to look like she is doing something.
