current salary is too high for prevail wage, will it be a problem for PERM

[hyuan71]

hi,
I am going to file PERM for ms+3, level III for software engineer, PWD is about 85k, but my current salary is 120k. will DOL see it as unreasonable?
my lawyer suggest the title ( H.3,K.a.5, K.b.5 of 9089) will be 'software engineer' since that is on the ad. but my title for current position and previous position are 'principal software enginer'.
my question:
can H.3 be changed to 'principal software engineer' even the ad is 'software engineer'?
if can't, is it better to use 'principal software engineer' in k.*.5 ( better explain my salary) or 'software engineer' ( better fit with the ad and H.3)?

NO, you have to put whatever your submit for job order.

if can't, is it better to use 'principal software engineer' in k.*.5 ( better explain my salary) or 'software engineer' ( better fit with the ad and H.3)?

I think it is no problem to have higher salary than PWD. Listen to your lawyer But your case will be much easy with tittle Principal and senior engineer since you use MS as your degree requirement.
