Hi,
My PERM was rejected two weeks back due to the fact that the offered wage was 8000$ higher than the prevailing wage determined by the SWA. My offered wage was specified as a range in the 9089 form and the bottom end of the range was 8000$ higher than the prevailing wage.

My firm's lawyer has applied for a re-appeal. I have only 4 months left in my 6 year H1-B limit. Also planning to extend this H1 based on pending re-appeal PERM.
What are the chances of re-appeal success and the lawyer says that if CO denies he is going to forward the case to BALCA.I'm not sure if it is worth it

1. Do I need to go for a new PERM based on the situation above

2. What are the chances of a successful re-appeal with CO

Thanks

Do you want to say offered wage was less than prevailing wage?

If offered wage higher than prevailing wage then no problem at all. It should be same or higher only.
