Please help me. I have received from my attorney my approved Labor Cert which was filed through PERM. The wage offered is above the PW but it is less than what is actually being offered by my employer. I am on an H1B status right now. My actual salary is $62,000+ the PW was $49,473. The offered wage indicated on the approved labor cert was FROM: $49,773 TO" ____ (blank).

WHat should I write on the I-140 application. WHich wage should I use? My employer has the ability to pay my actual wage. If I indicate on my I-140 application the actual wage ($62,000), will they deny my application because on the approved labor cert, the wage is much lower ($49,773).

PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you!!!
 
Hi, I had the same situation, my wage is much higher than LC approval. My attorny filed 140 with actual wage (Higher) and I already got the approval. The want to make sure you are covered by minimun LC wage.

THanks for responding. Did your lawyer explain why there was a difference on the wage? If you don't mind, how big was the difference? I think mine is 20% different? I am just not sure if we need to explain the difference in the amount that is stated on the Labor CErt and the amount that I am actually being paid. THank you for responding.
 
she did not explain anything. mine was close to 30% more. I am sure you going to be ok.
