What is the minimum salary one should get to file for H1?

[deepthivasireddy]

Hii,

I Just wanted to enquire if there is any pay one should get to file for a H1 visa? Would there be any problems during stamping if they get paid below that amount?

thank you

The salary always has to be at least the prevailing wage for the job in the region where the job is located.

There is no "one size fits all" number.

One of the attestations made by the employer filing an H-1B petition is that they will pay the required wage for the H-1B, which is the higher of the actual wage for the position paid by the employer or the prevailing wage in the area of intended employment. Failure to pay the required wage is a violation which could expose the employer to sanctions such as debarment from future LCA and H-1B filings for a period of time and backpay to the individual and can also complicate the employee's maintenance of status and successful visa applications abroad. Employers and employees would benefit seeking the counsel of qualified immigration attorneys to discuss issues related to legal requirements and compliance.
