LCA question during Amendment filing

[Krish2021]

Hi - I am currently in Location A getting Level 2 wage. My employer request me to move my location to B through amendment. Job duties and project going to be same. Fact here is - level 2 wage of location B is lesser than of wage level 2 of current location A. Also my actual wage is lesser than of level 2 wage of location B. Is my new LCA for location B going to reduced to level 2 wage of location B or will it remain same as that of location A since I have already lived more than 1.5 years on this wage or going to be in the middle between these level 2 both. I am running in 11 years in same company which includes 4 years in onshore.. I am in Associate grade in my company. Please advise.

If you a getting paid less than you LCA then you are violating your status.

Thanks for your reply!! I am getting correct LCA amount now for location A. All my question is - If I go for amendment from location A to B, will my new LCA amount get reduced to match with location B. Because as per doc data center quote, LCA wage level 2 for location B is lesser than that of location A.

LCA amount is just a threshold and you need to be paid above it. But how much you employer will pay you will depends on your employer. 

There is no rule that your employer will have to pay you less for location B since the prevailing wage is less in Location B than A.
