My Employer says that he can't file an H1B for 20 hours of pay rate, As I work for only 20 hours, Is there particular amout to be run on my pay check?

I think you should be a full time worker . 40 hours a week .

Part-time H-1B is acceptable and valid; I have filed many part-time H-1B's in my 10 years of practice as an immigration lawyer. But 20 hours is very low; it will probably raise USCIS scrutiny. Make it at least 25 (and be sure the prevailing wage is right) and the employer is organizationally complex enough to sustain a part-time specialty worker.
