In 2025, there were about 150 Wells Fargo H1B visa records in this Department of Labor dataset (it's public). Through the end of August 2026, there are already 335 - more than double last year's total. Average listed salary is about $150 (so it's not 'cheap labor' as many think) but some salaries are as low as $88K to $224K.
You can see all salaries here - I filtered on Wells and you can filter by year.

We shouldn't have anything but low level high volume tech tasks being completed in India. This outsource everything we possibly can approach will fail. It's a matter of time.
@b0 Yes, my team is now 5 in the US split between 2 locations, and 14 in India. They are extremely lazy and there’s absolutely no accountability for them being that way. If I worked like they do, I would’ve been out of a job long ago. I’m actively looking elsewhere now 🤞
Those numbers are bunk or they're using staffing firms or some other legal loophole, the number is 400X that. The this is its even worth staying at companies like these, they're using the remaining Americans as tools to instill culture and show. The fast we get out of this place the better.
All jobs will go to haaiderabad, telanguna. No moe hb1s
Everyone going on about "H1B's" are stupid. H1B's cover people coming to the U.S.; Wells is sending jobs overseas. Educate yourselves, you ignorant m0rons.
It was only raised to that amount, apply to new H1b visas, not the others like student or L1, with a bunch of other exemptions.
It was pretty transparently a token gesture to the peanut gallery, not intended to actually do harm to the tech weirdos paying him off. I mean, just here 335 is nothing. Not happy about it, but do not expect any good faith effort on this front from the current administration.
Didn't the trump admin raise the fee to $100k a pop? So Wells decided it was worth paying that kind of money to hire those foreigners?
Someone should tell the President about this! He'd never let profit get in the way of protecting American workers 😂🤣
335 out of 200k? Not sure that's really telling the story you want it to.
Outsourcing to I&P is a much bigger issue
They’re eating our lunch. Look it up online, they are many H1B and green card frauds.
