同一个案件中有两套工资问题

第一套是岗位应提供什么工资条件,涉及DOL的现行工资认定和劳动力市场保护;第二套是雇主是否具备支付所承诺工资的能力,通常在USCIS审理I-140时成为重点。两者相互关联,却不是同一项审查。

现行工资取决于岗位与地点

职业、工作地点、职责复杂度、教育和经验要求都会影响工资认定。同一职位名称在不同州或不同都会区可能对应不同工资。服务方仅用全国平均数或招聘网站截图承诺收入,并不足以代表案件中的正式工资水平。

广告工资与承诺工资应保持一致

PERM招聘中的工作条件需要真实,最终向外国员工提供的职位不能在关键方面低于认证内容。奖金、加班、住宿或福利是否计入,应查看正式文件,不能用口头说明替代基本工资义务。

支付能力看企业财务事实

USCIS通常关注雇主从相关优先日起持续支付所承诺工资的能力。实际已经支付给受益人的工资可能是重要证据;净收入、净流动资产和完整经营背景也可能进入分析。只看公司年销售额,无法得出可靠结论。

多名受益人会增加整体负担

若同一雇主同时支持多名职业移民申请人,支付能力分析可能需要考虑全部未完成义务。一个岗位单独看似合理,不代表企业同时承担大量岗位仍然稳健。核验时应避免只展示单一案件数字。

Note for applicants based in China

Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
