The Department of Labor (DOL) proposed revision to the H-1B wage rules. An earlier version of the rules cleared publication in February 2026. The revised version is based on feedback from the public.
Change Details
Until publication in the federal review, the exact details of the revised H-1B wage rules remain confidential. However, the proposed rule might restructure the wage system for the following visas:
- The H-1B visa.
- The H-1B1 visa.
- The E-3 visa.
- The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) system.
Exact details are uncertain, but the change might increase the minimum required wages across all wage levels.
