求扫盲 --- H-1B和prevailing wage

楼主11月底刚刚收到H1B的approval notice, 然后在准备回国签证材料的时候发现I-129上的prevailing wage比实际的高 (这里没什么问题)

后来发现系统内部的年薪也更新成了prevailing wage，然而实际拿到手的还是以前那么多，问了HR，好像说是为了申请需要什么的记不住了。

各位大神求科普，在哪一个时间点，公司必须实际支付prevailing wage？PERM下来之后？

You should get paid at prevailing wage once your h1b is approved. If you are referring to GC petition (PERM, I-140), then you get paid once you get your GC.

谢谢回复，我H1B已经approve了，可是老板说并不会涨工资，系统里更新成PW好像只是为了file工作签证以及以后的绿卡申请。不知道有没有什么法律文件？

Sorry, I can't type in Chinese now...

Both H1b and PERM need a LCA (Labor Certificate). Your actual pay should not be lower than what is listed in your H1b LCA. However, for PERM LCA, your company only needs to show the capability to pay you and doesn't need to pay you before you get your GC, because GC is for future employment demand.

You can go to DOL website; I remember they have documents regarding this.
Hope this helps.

You should check your H1b LCA... it's possible your H1b and PERM LCA prevailing wages are different and H1b's is lower.
