Why Was the H1B Wage Level RFE Issued?

The H1B Wage Level RFE is issued when USCIS believes that the employer has not provided enough information to prove that the wage they are offering is at the correct level.

In order to prove that the wage being offered is at the correct level, the employer must provide evidence that the position being offered to the H1B employee meets the criteria for a particular wage level.

USCIS has four different wage levels for H1B positions: 1. Level I - Entry-level positions that require no previous experience.

2. Level II - Positions that require at least one year of previous experience.

3. Level III - Positions that require at least four years of previous experience.

4. Level IV - Positions that require at least seven years of previous experience.

The employer must also provide evidence that the wage being offered is at or above the median wage for the particular occupation in the area of intended employment.

USCIS uses data from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program to determine the median wage for an occupation in an area of intended employment.
