My employer is filing my H1B extension, but because of the new DOL rule, the prevailing wage has jumped up by about $30,000! My employer is not able to pay this amount. Are there any other options?

Answer

One option may be to use an alternate wage survey. DOL regulations have long provided employers with the option to use an alternate wage survey, so long as certain requirements are met. (19.Nov.2020)
