This fake news won’t die.
I was making over market rate on H1B. The petition process forces the employer to pay market rate or above.
Also the transfer petition is very easy and it usually takes 2-4 weeks. You can argue that changing jobs is higher friction for H1B workers, but if you are offered more salary elsewhere but decide to stay, well, that’s kind of on you, not the H1B process.
"study of H-1B wages shows up to a 30% discount for H-1Bs in certain occupations and an average of 16% discount for H-1Bs compared to American workers similarly situated." ( 2026, https://iaproject.org/commentary/new-analysis-says-h-1b-work... )
Perhaps the people I knew were just unlucky =3
