Statutes Covering H-1B

Bills and laws either insert sections into the United States Code or amend existing sections. Bills tend to be deliberately confusing, relying on editing instructions to conceal their true purpose. 

These are the sections of the United States Code dealing with H-1B (Up-to-date as of July 2004).

8 U.S.C. § 1101

Contains the core of the H-1B program.

8 U.S.C. § 1182

Subsection (n) deals with Labor Condition Applications, prevailing wage requirements and enforcement.

8 U.S.C. § 1184

Contains the H-1B quota and the expired retraining fee.
