Lower LCA Wage Level

Does anyone have clear idea on LCA wage level classification. My concern about a visa extension is that, my employer filed the LCA with a lower wage level, than I am supposed to be in.

For eg: If I look at flcdatacenter.com, and lookup for my City and Job code for which visa application is being filed. The min wage is $109,000 for wage level 3 for my City limit for the specific SOC code. And my income is above that. Basically it looks like to me, that I could file with wage Level 3.
However my employer is filing the extension with wage level 2 in LCA. 

What could be the reason? What are the odds for a denial having it in Level 2? Should I ask them to go with Level 3?
I have asked many. No one has  any clear idea on how this should be handled.

I am not an expert. Please consult experts.
Now a days there are looking at speciality occupation and wages and wage levels, W2 more seriously.
LCA is minimum wage your employer promised to pay you. Your employer is applying wage 2 since he wants his bar to set low so that his minimum pay to you is little low.
