Salary lower than LCA wage in section F but higher than prevailing wage

[ab12]

I am currently working in US and my status changed from F1 to H-1B on 1st October. My current salary is more than the LCA prevailing wage but less than the LCA wage mentioned in section F.

Hence, my monthly paycheck will account for a salary that is less than mentioned in LCA wage section F.

Will this cause an issue while going for visa stamping? Or as long as the salary is above prevailing wage it's okay?

In H1, you have to get paid the salary listed on the LCA, which always has to be the prevailing wage or more.

When the employer filed the LCA, they promised to pay you the salary listed there.

Having actual pay more than LCA is not such big problem. I had same scenario got 221G and got cleared in a week in Vancouver Canada this year. But actual pay less than LCA is serious issue. LCA is the amount your employer agreed to pay you and if he/she is not paying that amount paying less than that amount is serious issue.

Thanks for the answer!

Is it okay if I was paid less than LCA while on F1-OPT and paid the salary listed on LCA after my status changed from F1 to H-1B?

After you had H1B status your actual pay must be equal to or more than LCA but certainly not less...
