  "summary": "The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has denied and revoked multiple H-1B petitions after identifying cases in which a major IT consulting company classified skilled technology positions at wage levels below what the jobs' duties and requirements supported. USCIS disclosed the enforcement action in a post on X on September 5, stating that the practice \"undercuts required wages\" and creates unfair competition for US workers. The latest action focuses on how employers classify H-1B jobs for prevailing-wage purposes, with H-1B employers required to pay workers according to applicable wage requirements that reflect factors such as occupation, experience, and requirements associated with a position.",
