DOL刚刚发布了2021新的H1B Wage Rule，非立即生效

新规下L1和原来的L1根本不是同一群人，而且不提工资线，老L1只是按照现在的抽签总人数中签率为零，并不是没有抽签资格。这下新规来了，这些人直接交申请H1b抽签的资格都没有了。以后要是真有什么打击abu

不是踢掉了，工资低于level 1可以通过其他legitimate source（比如 private survey）参与level 1抽签，这其实对于不到之前level 2工资的人更友好了。如果继续根据过去几年工资比例推算，相当于原本的level 2和level 1一起抽签，level 34直接拿工签

不够新l1的找律所用private source就可以。
如果DOL的政策真的落地，到时候律所的应对措施肯定也会跟进的。

我能想到比较恶心的短期影响是，如果FY 2023人数由于疫情不多，老l1都可能有很大概率直接抽中。现在加一个DOL新规，可能必须要要求公司找律师办private source。

貌似private source没用，根据W大的推送

这个细节我没注意到，如果会影响到private source的标准，那确实挺恶心的。。。。

我已经心累了 只想知道这个新规被推翻或者block的几率多大。每次都是几天折腾一番讨论研究半天 最后也不一定落地

摘一下Fragomen官网的notice:
The final rule contains a transition period for all filings as well as a longer four-step wage adjustment period for certain H-1B workers pursuing permanent residence.

The general implementation of the rule will take effect in phases as follows:

Phase 1, Rule Effective Date through June 30, 2021: LCAs filed and PWDs issued during this timeframe are to remain subject to current wage levels, with Level I at the 17th percentile, Level II at the 34th percentile, Level III at the 50th percentile and Level IV at the 67th percentile.
Phase 2, July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022: The new wage levels will take effect, however, they are to be adjusted downward as follows – Levels I and IV are to be set at the higher of either 90% of the wage value calculated at the 35th and 90th percentile or the mean of the lower one-third of the current OES wage distribution. Levels II and III are to be set using the wage calculations outlined in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which rely on the amounts listed in Levels I and IV.
Phase 3, July 1, 2022 and after: The new wage levels are to take effect without any adjustments, with Level I at the 35th percentile, Level II at the 53rd percentile, Level III at the 72nd percentile and Level IV at the 90th percentile.


Additional wage adjustments are included for LCAs filed and PWDs issued on behalf of H-1B workers pursuing employment-based permanent residence. Specifically, where the H-1B worker was, as of October 8, 2020, the beneficiary of an approved I-140 Petition or eligible for a post six-year H-1B extension, wage increases will be implemented as follows:

Phase 1, Rule Effective Date through June 30, 2021: LCAs filed and PWDs issued during this timeframe are to effectively remain subject to current wage levels.
Phase 2, July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022: Levels I and IV are to be set at the higher of 85% of the wage value calculated at the 35th and 90th percentile or the mean of the lower one-third of the current OES wage distribution. Levels II and III are to be set using the wage calculations established in the INA.
Phase 3, July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023: Levels I and IV are to be set at the higher of either 90% of the wage value calculated at the 35th and 90th percentile or the mean of the lower one-third of the current OES wage distribution. Levels II and III are to be set using the wage calculations established in the INA.
Phase 4, July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024: Levels I and IV are to be set at the higher of either 95% of the wage value calculated at the 35th and 90th percentile or the mean of the lower one-third of the current OES wage distribution. Levels II and III are to be set using the wage calculations established in the INA.


Starting July 1, 2024, all LCAs and PWDs are to be subject to the new leveling.

补充一下，看上去新L1也不是立刻就35%，要take years to be at the final leveling

本身工作性质就是wfh的，在收入比较低的州，但是本州没有公司的Office，office都在东西海岸，那是按照当地的wage level还是按照公司某个office的level呢？！哪位大佬知道

w大发的文章说 private survey已经没用了

w大的文章说的是 “新规定直接提高了level对应的百分比，即使使用其他工资数据，也要按照新的百分比来”可能意思就是private source的百分比和官方的百分比差不了多少，而private source的优点（自己定义各个level的百分比）相当于就没有了? 不确定理解是否正确

严重同意，过去一年类似的规定不知道出来了多少，每次出来大家都是讨论生效后影响有多大，但实际上最后这些规定几乎没有通过或成功施行的。

各位想开一点吧，我毒奶无论是按等级先后抽签还是涨工资标准，最后没有能够通过的。
