Biden administration plans delay in H-1B wage increase (The Mercury News)

March 12, 2021

The Biden administration plans to delay a rule that would raise mandatory minimum pay for H-1B workers, according to a report in The (San Jose, California) Mercury News newspaper. The rule was to take effect March 15 but would be delayed to May 14 under the proposal and could be delayed further. Opponents of the wage increase argued the significant increase would have gutted the H-1B program.
