What Wage should we get when we are on H1B ?

[clear485]

Hi Gurus,

I am so confusing with these "Wages" like preffered wage, prevailed wage etc.

I am waiting for my 485 approval (140 was approved), now I am getting the salary of 50K (Same it mentioned on my H1B LCA) since I joined with this company. The same company filed my GC.

But today I found in my LC(GC) they have mentioned that my salary is 76K. Could CIS ask this difference any stage in 485 ? I am still on H1B.

I have a question that why my employer should pay 76K now, since they mentioned they will pay for future employment ?

What if CIS sends RFE that employer is not paying preffered wage ? will they do that ?

one more question is my w2 will show only 45K out of 50K (the remaining amount has been not paid due to I was in vacation in US + my medicals(pre tax)+perdiem)... Can I do my pre tax amount to be taxable when I am going to file my W2 next year with out employers intention ?

Could you please clarify these things....
UN please post your thoughts !!!!


Thanks

Very basic thumb rule:

• You will get LCA wage when you are working on H1 status.
• There is no prevailing wage when you work on EAD.
• You are supposed to get LC wage after your GC approval.
