Prevailing wage in PERM application
The prevailing wage in the PERM application is 45% more than my current salary. The PERM is pending (filed 5/15/08) Is the company required to pay me this salary now? If not, when? At the time the LC has been adjudicated? Or at the time the GC is issued? Can I ask my company to pay me this salary now? I feel I am underpaid since I am tied to the company (H1-b on 8th extension year). Is this a case of H1-b discrimination?

The company is required to pay the prevailing wage when your GC gets approved. They are only required to pay what is on the LCA based on your current H-1b whatever that is. |
