I filled prevailing wage as my salary in ds 160. which is 57k. and salary mentioned in my petition is 62k. which one of these should i say in my visa interview if asked?

my interview is on week.

You are okay if salary is higher than prevailing wage. It should never be lower. If asked, your answer will be 62K.

You will state that $57 K is the prevailing wage but what you are receiving is $62 K because of your qualifications and employer ability to pay reasonable wages commensurate with experience and capability. You entered $57 K because you thought that was the question being asked and you are sorry for the confusion. It is a very good occurrence that you are being paid more than prevailing wages. Let us know when you get approved!.
