BATHIJA Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 hi, i am planning to go for H1b stamping to India. this is my second stamping as i got my original visa in India. i get paid a fixed salary as per LCA but my pay stub has number of hours listed and my salary is based on the number of hours i work. the pay stub has 160 hours or 152 hours depending on if there is a US holiday that month . so salary comes to hours x < rate > and there is a difference of 300-400$ per month in salary . 1.will this be an issue if my paystub shows that i am being paid hourly ? 2. what should i say to VO if he is asking me if i get salary or get paid per hour ?

rahul412 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 No problem, you are good to go. Just make sure that your W2 salary is not less than LCA salary. Link to comment

prawah Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 say the same amount whatever is listed on LCA, do not say hourly pay. about the fluctuations 1. Overtime- paid extra. 2. Pay hike recently. 3. Bonus on performance evaluations. 4. No problem about hours listed, just say him to match the time sheet hour (record for employer of how much you worked in that pay cycle) Link to comment

OP is good to go, don't give him an advice which will put him in trouble. Link to comment

DO NOT post advice to others that it is okay to lie. If a person follows the (ill conceived and erroneous) advice and is denied entry, their visa is revoked, an entry ban is issued, then what are you going to say -- oh well, sorry. It is never okay to lie to immigration and consular officials or put false information on a official form or document. It is immigration fraud and it is illegal. Link to comment
JoeF Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 say the same amount whatever is listed on LCA, do not say hourly pay. Really BAD advice. NEVER NEVER NEVER lie to an immigration official. Such lies could result in a lifelong ban. Link to comment
