Hi All,

I got my H1B approved last November. I have a I797A approval notice with valid I94. I am planning to go to India for my H1B stamping.

I have completed my Masters in USA and I am a full time employee. Currently my salary is USD50000 which is less than the LCA amount USD60000. Will this be a problem during my H1B visa interview ? 

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Sorry I should have been more clear while posting the question. 

My salary is USD50000 and LCA filled by my employer with H1B petition has mentioned the same amount. My question is that in few other websites I have read that the minimum salary for H1B should be USD60000. As my salary is less than that will this cause any problem for me during my H1B Visa interview ?

That $60K figure applies only if the employer is an H1-dependent employer. There are unfortunately a lot of websites out there that spread half-truths.

Legally you are ok . The amount shown on the LCA should match the amount on your W2.
