kumarkbw Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi All, I do see Proffered WAGE, PW_1(Prevailing Wage) & PW_2(Prevailing Wage) on the LCA certification. Employer should pay the salary as per which wage (out of above 3 wages) ? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 The proffered wage is the wage you are getting. That's what "proffered" means. It needs to be at least as high as the prevailing wage. Link to comment
kumarkbw Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for your reply... Just for my confirmation - So Employer should pay minimum pay of proffered wage to Employee in 1 year. My case, LCA Prooffered wage is 71k & offer letter also 71k but w2 for 2013 year is 65.5k (Prevailing wage - 55k). I requested my employer to match LCA amount in 2013 year pay but he just convenienced me saying if I get more than prevailing wage would be fine. Can I get the remaining salary ( 5.5k = 71k - 65.5k) if I contact DOL. I have all paystubs, LCA, W2 forms. Appreciate your help..... Link to comment
t75 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 If you have a signed contract for a specific wage, see an attorney. Prevailing wage is what is required. It does not appear from what you have posted to be a DOL problem. They take longer than a private attorney addressing a contract issue as well. Link to comment
kumarkbw Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi t75, Thanks for your reply... I didn't put my question properly earlier. My question - I am working on H1b visa. My employer did pay less that what he mentioned on LCA & Offer letter. In this case, does DOL or USICS will help me to get the remaining salary from him. Now I left that company and joined in another company on H1B visa. Link to comment

You need to get at least the salary listed on the LCA, which has to be at least the prevailing wage. Link to comment
