they said, my wage is less than the market rate. Initially they said it is an issue with employer and later said that the salary is less than market rate...
May be the employer has to do something...
I don't know how and what it is going to be...
Shsb
 
Can you tell us what your salary is and which field do you work for? I have a feelings that my salary($60K) is also lower than the market.

Thanks
 
Wage Difference

I think it was right wage when we filed as per lawyers suggestion. But now its already more than a year passed and now these guys are finding difference between then and now and are going with todays stick. Generally difference is not much and employers are willing to co-operate. So push your employer to respond quickly.

Best Luck.
 
My Base salary while filing was XK + bonus + stocks. I looked at the paper work yeasteray and found that they just mentioned the base not bonus. If they add bonus it will come to X+7K. They filed mine under Software Engineer category. I went through DOL site and found that Software Engineer category $74K is shown as avg annual sal. Lately even my company realized that my slary is less compared ot others and they did a slight adjustment lifting the base to X+10K +bonus.
Now I am assuming either the lawyer has to come up with explanation or the company has to increase the salary and proceed with proof of paying the back pay etc...
That is what I understood from the DOL site.
Hopefully I will be able to talk to the lawyers by next week in my company.
I remember, while I was offered a position with a $10 billion leading company, I was given a base of $80 and bonus, and their H1 paper work was showing clear survey details of wages and it was matching to those figures..
We all will pray well and hope for the best..
Anyway this solution resolution is totally depend on our employer.
If your employer is dealing with federal or state projects, you have high probability of getting a better pay, I guess:) as the minority and EEOC etc are too important to them...
I don't think that they will deny to pay you more once DOL is saying that you are underpaid.. Also it matters whether you are a male or female.. If you are a lady, and getting paid less, it is a serious matter.

Because company HR is signing all paper work submitted by the lawyer for the position description...

Also it is descrimination , if they say that we can't pay you more for green card while DOL says that you deserve this much of wages for the projected job description by the company and now we can't proceed because of that...

I am excited to know the out come after long wait. I will post progress as when I get to know from my lawer or Richmond office.

Hey guys,
My date is 01/09/2002. I guess I am in the same boat as many others from Richmond where the person who is processing my application was on 12/04/2001 as of last Friday.
I am not planning to call him until the last week of May, so please be rest assured that i am contributing to slowing him down with additional phone calls :)
Have a great day ahead.
 
John. any updates?

John,

Slow_lc,

Slow_lc - calls up to check status twice a week and all of the people in the list have agreed to abide by that rule since too many calls to the SESA office will only end up hurting our cause.

So I would recommed if it's not too urgent, please wait for the updates that are posted every Wed and Friday.

Thx.
 
Re: Re: VaLabor_02

clzeus10,

I appreciate your concern for the processing and stuff. I have no intension of calling uless I know that they have gone past my processing dates. As I want to be sure that my app is not stuck in the queue with the person who is still processing Dec beginning cases still..........

I will keep you guys posted as and when i find something out.....

Re: John. any updates?

Still haven't heard anything. I am guessing my application must be in the stack being processed by 'the slow guy'. I don't want to hassle them with too many calls either, so I haven't confirmed this suspicion yet.

Done!

Hello everyone,

My Case was forwarded to Philla DOL yesterday. I spoke to Mr. Richard Primmer, who sounded very nice over the phone. The number I used is (804) 236-2717. (I guess this one is Mr. Primmer's direct line.) There's another line (804)236-2708.

All the best to the next! Keep the hope alive!
