The physician group I'm talking with are looking to hire me on to work alongside them, and they would not actually pay me a direct salary. I would bill insurance for each patient seen, and the practice would take a certain percentage and give me the rest. Would this be allowed? Or do I have to actually receive a salary from the future employer? My understanding is that as long as the potential employer can show the ability to pay the prevailing wage via a business income tax return, that is all that is needed. Whether or not I actually get paid and how much I get paid once the green card is approved, is irrelevant, correct?
First of all generally speaking, for H-1 and for green card your salary cannot include terms that are variable. So for instance if you get a yearly bonus, but the bonus changes from year to year you cannot include that as a part of your salary. Salary cannot include per diem. A lot of companies and a lot of employees get stuck with a lot of problems because per diem is set up as part of the salary. Per diem is not salary. Benefits are not salary. So all three of these items are big problems when you talk about H-1 and green card salaries.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it cannot approve a Form I-800, Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative, filed on behalf of a child to be adopted from Vietnam. The Department of State (DOS) has determined that Vietnam has not proven capable of meeting its obligations under The Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention).
Our client recently received his green card after a long journey with USCIS. He approached us following a denial of his I-140 (NIW, physician in medically underserved area). The applicant had filed the I-140 and I-485 and then moved to a different state while the applications were pending. There had been no action on the file for 2 years. He submitted a service request with USCIS requesting a status update. USCIS issued a Request for Evidence shortly after the applicant’s move, which was sent to the original address and ultimately returned undelivered.

My friend Dr. M.K. Shukla advised me to contact attorney Mr. Khanna for my I-140 case in EB1 category. My initial telephonic conversation with Mr. Khanna was very friendly and he gave me good suggestions regarding my case. Ms. Diane Lombardo was handeling my case and I found her very efficient, sincere and helpful. For my questions/doubts I found her very prompt in reply and giving me fruitful suggestions. Because of her help and sincere effort, my case was done very quickly. I found all the members of his team to be very helpful. I thank Mr. Khanna, Ms. Diane, Mr. Chacko and his team. I strongly suggest to those looking for an immigration related issues. Anil Kumar Michigan
Mr. Khanna is extremely knowledgeable. In my personal experience he's been the only lawyer to know the legal intricacies as well as he does. In my case one tiny detail that he caught made such a huge difference from me being "out of status" to being in "authorized period of stay". He is the person to go to for any immigration advice, and on top of that he is really wonderful to talk to.

Hi, We are thankful to Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna for clearing all our doubts pertaining to one of our employee's L1A visa. His comments are really helpful and we found found him always very supportive.
The information Mr. Khanna provided was very helpful. I was scheduled for a phone conference appointment for no cost since I am a student. He is definitely a great person who really makes an effort to sort out others issues. I wanted to make sure that the statement of reason for application of the waiver for the two-year home country physical presence requirement of the J-1 visa, was a strong reason, so he asked me more question about my J-1 program to figure out a better reason for the application which turned out being a better one than the one I was thinking about.

I have completed 3 years on my initial H1B. My employer applied for extension but it was denied saying Specialty occupation not met. My I-94 has expired and I was out of status. My employerhired Rajiv S Khanna for filing H1 extension again in PP along with MTR. This new H1 extension is approved along with I-94 which has corrected my out of status period. It was miracle and was only possible because of Rajiv S Khanna & team (Kalpana, Fran). They have great knowledge and experience in dealing with immigration issues. I am so thankful to them for their great service and I proudly recommend them to all. Rajiv, Kalpana & Fran - YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you :)
