I have never worked under a US Payroll before, this is my first time. By the end of 2017 I got my first performance review, in the letter they specified that I can only receive my new salary once I had evidence to obtain a certification on my field of expertise. Because of various reasons (work load being the main one) I was unable to study and get such certification, therefore I stuck with my same salary all of 2018. By the end of my next review they basically sent me the same letter with same salary offered in 2017 again conditioned to a certification.

I would appreciate if anyone can tell me if this is a common practice in the US.

Thanks!

Not at all unheard of, especially in consulting agencies. Being able to place certified staff in direct or support roles for customers justifies higher fees.
