Is it Good ? - Need your help

Hi Ginnu,
This is susi again with another clarification.

1. My Offer letter from company B, says

"your compensation will be $48,000 per year, which we will pay in bimonthly increments. In addition to this, you will receive a project incentive of $13 per hour. This payment will be based on billable hours only. " -

Since iam transferring my h1b to company B - The Offer letter also says

"Your combined annual compensation will never fall below the annual rate as dictated by the H1B petition filed on your behalf."

Now, Iam doubt on the word Billable hours -- Will this type of words(billing hours) create problems while iam filing for AC21 or never mind ?

2. When i ask from where this $48K comes from, while my Labor for GC says the Prevailing wage is $65K ?
They said $48k is for my LCA (Minimum wages that has to be paid for current location where is work now) - Iam again confused here. From your previous answers i understood LCA is for H1b but, will this current LCA ($48K) will cause any issues when i file AC21.

3. Also give me the important points (generic) which i need to check/has to be there in the offer letter, which will be used for AC21 filing.

pls give your suggestion on this.

Thanks
Susi

******************** This letter is NOT for AC21. AC21 letter should have your job title, skills ,date joined and present wages , permanent job offer with same/similar job duties.

----LCA is for H1, LC is filed for GC(first step).

3. Also give me the important points (generic) which i need to check/has to be there in the offer letter, which will be used for AC21 filing.
------Sample AC21 letter has been posted many times and search.

pls give your suggestion on this.
