I'm sure you saw the article recently about the H1B visa program requiring significantly higher pay for visa holders. How do you think this will affect current visa holders? Obviously it varies case by case but I'm hoping you'll have insight into this that I don't have.

The higher prevailing wages don't impact the present wages of those currently in H-1B status; they will only apply to extensions and new filings.

It looks like prevailing wage data isn't available in flcdatacenter.com. Any idea if that's intentional or is it expected to be available sometime later?

Thanks!

It's available now

Just got informed of this change/regulation. My first extension after first 3 years of H1B is coming up next July.

Do we currently know any ballpark numbers for the wages for the regulation?
