Paid below the PERM prevailing wage

[rahul1450]

I am making $5849 below my prevailing wage that came in PWD determination during the PERM process. The perm is approved and now is the I-140 filing stage. I wanted to know when it is required that I be paid at least equal to prevailing wage i.e., before I -485 is filed or after I-485 is approved?

Thanks,

Rahul

The wage offered on the PERM and I-140 is not required to be paid until your I-485 is approved. However, the employer needs to show ability to pay that wage for the entire process.

Thanks Attorney_25 for the quick response.

Is the prevailing wage once established during PERM/I-140 process remains constant or does it change every year till I-485?
