I have an approved LC and I am working in a big software company. However the wage specified in the LC (90k) is much higher than my current wage (about 15k difference).
Since the company is still not making profit, they said they would not willing to pay me 90k upon GC approval
(and this year we are having a salary freezing).
they are proposing to file a new LC and try to reduce the wage.
Of course that is very bad for me.
So I want to bargain with my boss to set up some compromise
in order to file I485/140 with my approved LC.
That is, I want my boss to give me a new offer which "convert" my benefits into my salary (for example, medical insurance.
The company pays me that money and shows in my pay stubs )
and I purchase my medical insurance.
My question is:
a) Is this legal? The immigration law only requires employer to
pay the specified wage, but no one says how the employee
shld use his money. And, how will BCIS know there is such a problem if my pay stubs can show I am earning 90k/year?
Does anyone have similar experience?
b) If I do so, how about the chance to get the I140/I485 approved? Pls note the company is very big but still can not make profit now.
Thanks to all!
