Is 4.6k Salary difference from LC a big issue?

I read a lot postings on this forum per salary difference between the cleared LC and the current salary. But still not confident.

I have around 5k Salary difference and my current salary is around 80k. No idea if my company wants to give INS a letter to gurantee a raise to 85k if I got a ref on it.

Would some approved cases people with the same issue can cast me lights? Or some reffered cases people can share me knowledge on how to fight with your own company and INS? Does anybody get disapproval due to this reason.

Thanks a lot!

Cross my hands even the ass-pain.
 
Hay,
This is must be no problem, As far as i understand and my understanding is based on head eating sessions I use to have with my attorny,so based on my understanding, GC is for future employment, your employer, while filing i-140 must promise you that he would pay you the salary specified in Labor Certification,ofcourse ig he is not paying u that amount at present, INS would like to check his ability to pay u in the future, so they may ask him to submit tax return etc etc, but that is pritty usual stuff, but u must not have any problem, he can just show ins offer later (to be implemented once u get GC) that he would pay u 85k once ur GC is done,

from my understand u r in no mess, so take it on positive side.

any senior member, plz correct me if i am wrong.

thx
 
Thanks Manoj's reply. Does it mean it is not "right" or "legal" for my employer not paying me 85k after I get my GC?

My concern is my employer won't submit INS an employment letter to state like to pay me 85k after the GC done if my case is referred due to this reason. In this case, how am I going to fight with my employer? Do I have to change employer by ACT21?

Am I thinking too much?
 
I-140 or GC?

I remember my attorney said the employer is supposed to pay you the salary specified on your LC, once your I-140 get approved.

Can somebody verify that?
 
ability to pay preferred wages

This is the RFE I received on Nov 2003 ... quote

8 CFR 204.5(g)(2) specifies that any petition filed by or for an employment-based immigrant which requires an offer of employment must be accompanied by evidence of ability to pay the preferred wage. The petitioner must demonstrate this ability at the time the priority date is established and continuing until the beneficiary obtains lawful permanent residence.

I was also under the impression which manoj2003 stated, however that does not seem to be entirely true. My company suffered losses in 2002 and since then its trying to recover and so was our salary.

In my case the salary diff was quite big (20k) and I would definately not worry about a diff of 5k. One more thing, a colleague of mine with exact same scenario got his 140 cleared, thus confirming that BCIS does pick up on random.
 
I-140 is for future employment. If you are on payroll with same company who filed I-140, you are in no danger. Getting supporting documents like company quarterly reports, paystubs, employment letter and w-2 should be sufficient for your attorney.
