vamshi_007 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi All, For the year 2012& 2013 my w2 shows less pay than my current LCA which we have used for H1b this year and approved(first time h1b). Back ground: 1.2012 Aug I joined this company and they ran pay for only from Aug to Dec which is less than LCA wage 2.In 2013 I was on bench (i was on OPT) for 2 months looking for the Job so my wage ran less than the LCA amount. I am planning to go stamping next month and I came across that they will ask for last two years w2 which i have them but shows less pay than current LCA wage.Is this a problem.? Please suggest. Thanks Link to comment

JoeF Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 The LCA is for the H1, not for OPT. But you need to get your terminology right. You had a job, even if you were on bench. You were searching for a project. And I suggest finding a better employer. It is the employer's task to give you a project to work on. It is not your task to find a project. Link to comment
newH1B2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I am also in the same boat my lawyer said that if they are asking why pay less than LCA we can explaining them clearly. Link to comment
naumil Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 no it wont as they just see the W2 starting from your H1B time period not OPT. Link to comment
kumar_y Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 If you are in H1-B and your pay is less than LCA , then you are out of status and find better employer first a fall. When working in OPT there is nothing called as LCA, it only applies when you are working on H-1B Link to comment
