List of information to be reported to the Immigration Bureau after obtaining a work visa.

The United States is a developed country, and many people want to immigrate to the United States. So what should they do after they get a work visa? Yes, I have compiled a list of information that I need to declare to the immigration office after I get a work visa. I hope it will help you.

I. Overview

If you have obtained the status of H 1B, first of all, congratulations on your successful application to H 1B and your own place. However, after obtaining the status of H 1B, you should still pay attention to your work situation and be sensitive to the changes in working environment and responsibilities, because some "substantial changes" in the position of H 1B need to be reported to the immigration bureau according to regulations.

If the applicant of H 1B finds that there are some changes in his post that need to be reported to the Immigration Bureau or the Ministry of Labor, it is recommended to contact HR or lawyer of H 1B in time to confirm whether it is necessary to report in time. Here, I will summarize several common situations for you, hoping to help you understand when you may have to go through the change procedures.

Second, the salary increase can not be reported, and the salary reduction is essential.

During the identity period of H 1B, the most common change is salary change. With the increase of working years in the company, the salary of employees is likely to rise. Generally speaking, there is no need to declare a salary increase to the immigration office.

However, it should be noted that there are two kinds of salary increase: salary increase in the same post and salary increase in changing posts. The salary increase we don't have to report here refers to the salary increase in the same job, such as programmer or programmer, accountant or accountant; If the salary increase is accompanied by job changes, such as programmers becoming project managers and accountants becoming financial managers, you need to pay extra attention and participate in the following further analysis.

There are relatively many restrictions on salary reduction corresponding to salary increase. First of all, in any case, the bottom line of H 1B can't be broken. If the employee's salary falls below the bottom line of H 1B, it will directly affect the legal status of H1B. If it is still higher than the required bottom line, but lower than that described in the previous application materials, it is necessary to report and submit a change application.

Some employers may use a salary range instead of a fixed number when submitting application materials, so as long as the salary is still within the original set range, there is no need to report it.

To sum up, changes in wage levels need to be treated with extra caution. If employees or employers have questions, they must consult an experienced immigration lawyer in time to understand the relevant compliance requirements.
