Εδώ και αρκετό καιρό, ψάχνομαι όπως και πολλοί άλλοι να μείνω μόνιμα στην Αμερική και ψάχνω απεγνωσμένα να βρώ ένα παραθυράκι για να είμαι ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στην πολυπόθητη πράσινη κάρτα.
Και ενώ έχω κατατρέξει σχεδόν σε όλα τα sites και forums που παρέχουν σχετικές πληροφορίες με τις visa και την πράσινη κάρτα, θα ήθελα μια διευκρίνηση όσων αφορά την Η1-Β βίζα.
The H-1B classification is for professional-level jobs that require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a specific academic field. In addition, the employee must have the degree or the equivalence of such a degree through education and experience. Before the H-1B petition can be filed with USCIS the employer must fill a "Labor Condition Application" (LCA) with the Department of Labor demonstrating that it is paying the required wage for this position in the geographic region where the job is located. The required wage for the position is the higher of the "actual wage" that is paid to other employees in this position or the "prevailing wage" which can be determined using nearly any source, including the employer's own wage survey.[citation needed]
When the employer submits the LCA, the law specifically limits the approval process so that LCAs may only be rejected if they be "incomplete or obviously inaccurate" (8 U.S.C. 1182 (n)). An employer may claim anything is the prevailing wage and the LCA is certain to be approved. In F.Y. 2005 <<1% of LCAs were rejected. In cases where the prevailing wage source is not valid (e.g. a national survey rather than a local one or a survey of entry level wages rather than one for the occupation and location) or where the prevailing wage is misstated (e.g. fabricated or using the 25th percentile wage) the LCA routinely will be approved.[citation needed]
Contrary to popular myth, there is no requirement whatsoever that employers must prove they could not find U.S. workers before hiring H-1B workers. In the case of "H-1B-dependent employers" (usually those with more than 15% of their workers on H-1B visas), the law requires these employers to recruit U.S. workers in "good faith" (8 U.S.C. 1182(n) (1)(G)). However, there is no effective enforcement mechanism in place.[citation needed]
As a general rule, a person who is in one non-immigrant status may not change status or change employers in that status until he or she applies with USCIS for such a change, and such change is granted. However, a provision called "H-1B portability" permits certain individuals already in the United States in H-1B status to commence employment for a new employer once a new employer's H-1B petition is filed with USCIS.
In order to obtain an H-1B visa, the employer must show that it will pay the higher of the prevailing local wage or the wage it pays other U.S. citizens who have similar education and experience.

Άλλα sites λένε ακριβώς το ίδιο πράγμα και κάποια άλλα όχι.
Επίσης είχα στείλει email στον diavatirio.com και είχα λάβει την εξής απάντηση: - Για πράσινη κάρτα πρέπει να αποδείξει ο εργοδότης ότι δεν υπάρχει κανένας αμερικανός διαθέσιμος για τη δουλειά - ότι έβαλε αγγελίες σε εφημερίδες και δεν βρήκε κανέναν με τα ελάχιστα προσώντα.
Τελικά τι ισχύει?
