You mean Per Diem?

That doesn't count as salary. Your salary (without the Per Diem) has to be at least the amount on the LCA.

Some shady employers abuse the Per Diem rules to avoid paying taxes. I suggest you find another employer.

Hi Joef,

My salary (without the Per Diem) is more than the LCA.

And you are right My perDiem doesn;'t count as salary.I dont think my employer is abusing the Per Diem rules.

My question is I get PerDiem every month which is generating in my pay stub .

If VO asks about generating the Per Diem what should be the answer?

And my perDiem doesnt generate every month and its like some times my employer generates and sometimes doesnt generate like atleast 3 to 4 mnths in a year.

If VO asks about why the perDiem is not generating every month , so what would be the answer?

That's nothing but abuse the rules.

You cannot get per-Diem simply. Their should be some reason for getting that per-Diem. If their is no reason then that's abuse of rules bcos that nothing but avoiding paying taxes.

Remember one thing, please do not lie during your visa interview.

1. You came up with generic answer. If you say that vo might ask to show the proof, like receipts?? Do you have them with you?

In order to receive per-Diem you need to submit necessary documents like expense sheet etc to your employer, then your employer will pay that amount as per-Diem

5. If this is true then vo might ask why didn't your employer informed this to USCIS. Read 'H1B amendment' then you will understand clearly.

One thing is for sure that your employer is going against the rules, if you have time then change the employer before the interview.
