DOL Updates Wage Database After Judge Sets Aside Changes to H-1B Visa Program
We have good news for many businesses this week.
A US District Court in California struck down H-1b visa rules recently issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor (DOL). The new rules resulted in unreasonable new salary requirements for H-1b visas and Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWDs) for PERM. The DOL has just updated its wage database to comply with the court's ruling.
New Labor Condition Applications may not be submitted until December 9th. PWDs will not be processed until December 15th. PWDs issued between October 8th and December 1st, 2020, should be resubmitted.
