yes, sometimes USCIS says .... ECFMG is not sufficient for credential evaluation. (go figure why....). my attorney got my credential evaluation done th' an agency in washington DC.

LCA online will take 1 minute after filling the form. But, before you fill the online form, you will need *prevailing wage info.*

1) *prevailing wage info* from your SWA (state workforce agency) will take about 3-4 weeks depending on their workload. u can find it out by calling them .. usually they have an answering machine that tells.

2) if your salary is same as the current prevailing wage at DOL website, then you can just quote it while filling the LCA form and it will be easy.

looks like you filed your H1b extension yourself without doing any research. ;)

optins;
1. ask your employer if he is ready to give you the current salary from SWA.
2. if not, then you can also quote any other survey that is authentic and has a lower salary
3. there are other options.

you may email me and then we can discuss.
