Yes, an employer hiring an H-1B worker must maintain documentation to prove and certify to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), that the H-1B employee will be paid the prevailing wage or the actual wage, whichever is higher. The prevailing wage refers to the average salary paid to workers in similar roles within the geographic area of employment, while the actual wage is the salary the employer pays to employees in similar positions at the specific work location. Additionally, the employer must certify that hiring the H-1B worker will not displace any U.S. workers and that there are no ongoing strikes or work stoppages in the relevant occupation. The employer is required to make these declarations.

The H-1B visa is a work authorization visa that allows US employers to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations. The initial period of stay for an H-1B visa is three years, and it can be extended for up to six years. The six-year limit is not a continuous clock, but rather takes into account the total number of days the visa holder has spent in the US while holding H-1B status. For every full day spent outside the US, the visa holder can recapture that time when they return. If your employer likes your work they can file an EB-3 which will allow you to stay indefinitely
