US bill would raise the salary threshold for an H-1B hiring-safeguard exemption to nearly $140,000
The Economic Times reports the threshold concerns workers at H-1B-dependent employers, not a salary floor for all visa holders.
TLDR
The Economic Times reports that Republican lawmakers introduced a bill to replace the $60,000 salary threshold that exempts some H-1B workers from additional hiring safeguards at H-1B-dependent employers. Tying the threshold to twice the Social Security Administration’s National Average Wage Index would put it near $140,000 by the lawmakers’ estimate. The proposal has not become law.
