Shantanu Sharma Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have been working on H-1B at a company since Oct 2018. My salary has been more than the prevailing wage on the LCA. But due to the economic crisis brought upon by the virus, my manager told me that the company either has to do pay cuts or lay off employees. A pay cut would mean my salary goes below the prevailing wage. What can I do under such circumstances? Does the low salary put my H-1B status under jeopardy or it will be deemed the company's fault if this is ever caught by the USCIS? Quote Link to comment

User099 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Your company will have to do an amendment to reduce your pay and LCA can't be below the prevailing wage while on H1. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The pay can never be below the prevailing wage. The employer can file a new LCA with reduced hours. Quote Link to comment
