Regarding Per Diem

[pau]

I was on F1 and my H1B starts from October 1st. I started working from 2010 and I had all my pay stubs. My employer was running per Diem on my pay.

Will it be a issue. My pay was more than LCA. Shall I tell my employer to run October month pay stub without per Diem or will it be okay to run as usual

like before. If VO asks why u had per diem ....I was thinking to tell My employer pays for my rental and food. 

 

Please let me know what type of questions can VO ask on it and how can I answer them

Whatever the questions the VO might ask...you just have to answer the TRUTH.

and it seems to be a shady employer who's looking to save some $$ himself..

Just tell the truth why you were receiving per diem. Whatever you say make sure you have proof for that.

Per diem is not part of the salary.

I agree per diem is not part of salary. Unless you have traveling job like via flight, car only than you will be getting reimburse. Otherwise your employer is shady
