I am currently on STEM OPT, and my H1B cap case was just approved through the same employer. While on STEM OPT, I was paid a lower wage than the prevailing H1B wage, but now that the H1B has been approved, I am being paid the correct amount. Will this be a problem in the future?

Answer

The H1B prevailing wage requirements generally do not go into effect until the H1B petition is approved. So, this typically would not create any issues. (08.Nov.2023)
