LCA rate change

[ageorge1@gmail.com]

I am on H1-b, and paid at the lower end of my LCA wage rate. Recently, my company filed for an extension, and although I am with the same client and working on the same role, but with office location change within the same county, the new LCA wage rate filed during H1-b extension is significantly lower than previous one.

The company has verbally agreed to correct the anomaly, but I wanted to check on my legal options, if original salary as per old LCA wage rate is not restored. Is the company legally right to change (lower) LCA wage rate, that too without my consent? My H1 expires in March 2013, and the extension was filed in December 2012. Thank you for your time.

The LCA prevailing wage is given by the state's DOL. Make sure that LCA job responsibilities and position are same as actual. I have seen many employers putting very generic job descriptions to get lower LCA salary. You can get salary more than LCA prevailing wage but not less.
