I am on the H-1B visa right now, still in my initial 3-year window, have this query about Prevailing wages In the Perm process. My company is filing Perm under the EB2 category, it was submitted in September 2022, and the current wait time is around 8-10 months so I am still waiting to hear back from authorities.

1. I had asked my lawyer for a copy of the PWD, but they said it is a company document. Is that correct?

2. When I asked about the wages mentioned in the document, they told me the figure is 123k $ and would be paid to me after the green card is received. This prevailing wage figure is 35% higher than my current wages. Does the prevailing wage figure include cost to the company? ( insurance,401k plan for which company pays for me) or is this figure to be paid to me as a yearly salary? Also, being an Indian, and Since mine is EB2 filing, I may not receive a green card until the next 15-20 years. Is there a way I can negotiate for this salary after the perm is approved?

Can we file two PERM simultaneously, one for the current job level and one for the future promoted level? My employer filed my green card based on my master's degree and no experience as a job requirement. So, what are the chances it will pass recruitment during PERM, keeping the current recession in mind?

I have an approved I-140 with COMPANY A. However, I have recently moved to COMPANY B, and they have initiated the green card process on my behalf. I prefer not to include my experience with COMPANY A in the PERM filing with COMPANY B. My understanding of the terms with company A is limited, and I may encounter difficulties in obtaining experience letters and supporting documents from COMPANY A. Could omitting my experience with COMPANY A cause any potential problems when COMPANY B files the I-140 & PERM and requests the previous priority date from COMPANY A.
