From 2003 to 2021, the median H-1B wage became <strong>52%<\/strong>, while the nominal median for all US workers grew simply by<strong> 39%<\/strong>, Cato noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the initial time since DHS started revealing <strong>H-1B wages<\/strong> in 2003 that H-1B wages have surged over the <strong>90th percentile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DHS held its yearly <strong>H-1B lottery<\/strong> earlier this month to allocate the<strong> 85,000 <\/strong>work visas to highly skilled<strong> foreign workers<\/strong>. However the specific number of entrants is not clear, once again, demand for <strong>H-1B workers<\/strong> far exceeded the cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.h1btransfersusa.com\/blog\/overview-of-the-revisions-made-to-the-eb5-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Overview of the Revisions Made to the EB5 Program<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 2022 fiscal, USCIS got<strong> 308,613 H-1B registrations<\/strong> for the 85,000 visas available. Indian IT organizations have been the biggest recipients of these visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David J Bier, a research fellow at Cato Institute, in a blog post expressed, that in reforming the <strong>green card process<\/strong>, Congress should not ignore the massive economic benefits from the <strong>H-1B program<\/strong>-which is the initial on-ramp for the vast majority of skilled green card candidates. &#8220;The latest <strong>wage information<\/strong> only further confirms the urgency of raising the H-1B cap and making hiring foreign workers easier,&#8221; he
