Harnoor Singh, an Indian tech professional based in San Francisco, has developed a dashboard that utilizes official data from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and the U.S. Department of Labor to analyze H-1B visa salaries. Singh, who faced two rejections from the H-1B lottery over five years, aimed to gain insights into the visa program by reviewing 25 years of USCIS reports. His findings indicate that Meta has a median H-1B salary of $222,888, positioning it as one of the top-paying employers in the sector. In stark contrast, Indian tech giants Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) offer median salaries of $93,850 and $91,000, respectively, for similar roles. The dashboard also highlights that H-1B visa holders earn, on average, $68,000 more than American workers, with a median salary of $120,000 compared to the U.S. median household income of approximately $52,000. Singh's analysis spans fiscal years from 2001 to 2027, revealing that the H-1B program is utilized not only by technology firms but also by consulting and auditing companies, with Ernst & Young filing for more H-1B visas than both Google and Microsoft.
