New research from the Budget Model highlights potential loopholes in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) weighted H-1B lottery rule. The study indicates that over 40% of the anticipated salary growth for H-1B visa holders could be negated if employers adjust how they classify their workers. This finding raises concerns about the effectiveness of the current lottery system in ensuring fair salary distribution among H-1B applicants.
Key Details:
- Research conducted by: Budget Model
- Issue identified: Over 40% of salary growth can be erased by employer classification changes
- Implication: Ranking by salary could address this issue
- Focus: H-1B visa holders and employer practices
The findings suggest that without reforms, the intended benefits of the weighted lottery may not reach many skilled workers. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
