Frequently Asked Questions Why do H1B wages vary so much between companies? H1B wages depend on job role, seniority level, location, and industry. Tech companies in Silicon Valley typically pay the most, while consulting firms and staffing agencies often pay closer to prevailing wages.
What is the wage vs prevailing wage ratio? The prevailing wage is the DOL-determined average wage for similar positions in the same area. A ratio above 100% means the company pays above market rate. Above 110% is considered generous.
Does higher pay guarantee H1B approval? Higher wages improve approval chances since USCIS considers whether the position meets prevailing wage requirements. However, approval also depends on the position being a "specialty occupation" and the company demonstrating legitimate need.
