champswc2011 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Scenario: My current H1 expires Oct 2016 and my 2015 W2 amount is 2k more than what is listed in I-129 and 5k more than LCA that is used for h1 expiring Oct2016. My current salary is XX and it meets LCA and I-129 amount for 2016-2019 petition. However, LCA amount for 2016-2019 petition is 2K more than 2015 W2 amount(Oct 2013-Oct 2016 petition). Question: If VO asks about current salary(XX) and then request to show 2015 W2 and ask why W2 amount is less than current salary(2015 w2 is 2k less than current salary) How to answer this question? THank you! Link to comment
shekar11# Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 You can explain the difference. You can say that your pay increased and is reflected in your current pay stubs. Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 You have to answer truthfully. Only you know why the salary last year was less than the salary this year. In general, people get yearly raises. Link to comment

My question is what if the VO gets confused as he will be looking at LCA valid in the future(Oct 2016 to Oct 2019) and tries to compare with my 2015 W2(which is in accordance with my LCA valid between Oct 2013 to Sept 2016). Please note my Oct2016-2019 LCA is 5 K greater than Oct 2013-Sept2016 LCA. Since Jun 2016 I am paid more than my 2016-2019 LCA. Thanks for replying JoeF and shekar11# Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 No, they won't get confused. They know about yearly raises. They get raises like that as well... Link to comment
