To be honest I haven&#x27;t heard of H1-B candidates negotiating what the prevailing wage will be on their LCA and I&#x27;d be surprised if even a handful of employers negotiated on that. But you made my point for me. Your employer could have put you at the higher pay scale but didn&#x27;t and in fact put you on the lowest of several options. This is the way the system was designed to work.
