Employer needs to tell the government how much they are paying this new foreign worker. And the gov decides if the wage is at least equal or higher than if you were to hire a US national for the same position.<br/><br/>See, if you are allowed to pay the foreigner less, then hiring US citizens would be disadvantageous... LCA protects the citizens (and on the book protect the foreigner from exploitation lol) (5/12) 2025-01-03T06:57:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrgu9st856amya7x7tyhgcg5zytga7qe653tr8ysxyu4ghgm8294czyr50z5ghtz6zq4kf57wm3thvyqkdz3t5l6zc87khsejypeqz6zz4yyzrvtk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspwykh790a6prf9ysw34g5430yk6p35fsldulunhyz92kfyfzw6gshrceqm'>nevent1q…ceqm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Once you win the lottery, the employer would need to go on to file for the #H1B petition. This is usually when the employers pay substantial amount of money (thousands if not more?) to put together the documents, and filing fees. Employers also usually pay premium processing fees so that they can get the approval asap, you gotta act fast here...

And since they really want more people with advanced degree, there&#39;s another 20000 statuses reserved for folks with Master degree and above.

Since I&#39;m a H1B holder, I feel like perhaps I can say a thing or two about it, especially when I think a lot of US-ians may not know what exactly it is... (and yeah being called low-cost slave worker is strange)<br/><br/>H1B is an immigration status that, at least on the book, allows foreign skilled worker to come to the US and work.
