H1B Extension with new Prevailing Wage Level guidelines

[H1BUser24]

Hello,

If someone's H1B is expiring in 6 months and he wants to initiate the H1B extension process, how new Wage Level guidelines would impact the extension process?

1. Does he need to file for a new LCA with new Wage Levels?

2. If last time applicant filed H1B in wage level 4, with new wage levels in place, now his salary would fall under wage level 1, would it be ok to file LCA with wage level 1?

3. Could he use his old LCA rather than filing a new one? I hear if previous LCA is still valid, it could be used. 

4. What are the other options?

Thanks!

Do you have an I-140?  How long is your old LCA valid until?  Recommended LCA wage level filing is 2.  Previous LCA should be good but check with your attorney.
