H-1B new-hire has more salary than me for the same SOC and level?

[reddy3]

Hi there,

I just noticed that my company has hired new H-1B employee for the same (practically) SOC and Wage Level but with higher salary than me.

My SOC was 15-1132 now not in use and O*NET suggest to use 15-1252, the new hire SOC.

I compared both LCAs and looks due to the prewailing range chages the new hire range/salary is way more than mine and probably other same level employees.

 

Is this OK? If not, what option do I have to correct this?

Isn't this discrimination? Can I report this to USCIS?

 

thx,

If your company is paying you the LCA prevailing wages, as mentioned in your LCA, then I doubt if you have any case.  However the validity of an LCA is for 3 years, after which you will qualify for an extension.  At this time, you will get a new LCA with the new prevailing wages.  Hope this helps.  Good Luck.
