Does changing the filing category and wage level between the initial H1B application and the H1B renewal ring alarm bells with the USCIS?

Answer

It might set off alarm bells if the initial H1B was at level 1 and the person never moved up. It is normal for people to make changes over time in their roles and change to a higher wage level (based on more experience). (29.Sep.2014)
