Salary - LCA or Paystub?
Hi,
  I have been seeing very different answers to the question. What if the salary mentioned in LCA is lower that that actually paid. One of the common answer is that salary in LCA is the minimum that needs to be paid for the said role. So if ever the question arises as to why there is a difference in what the amount in the LCA and what you are paid, then the answer should be, my paystub includes bonus and performance based pay. Is that correct ?
Anyone who has had experience with this (Who are getting paid more than what is mentioned in LCA) please tell me what your answer was.

CEAC status AP but ustraveldocs status different
Dropbox application submission. New Delhi. Jan 2nd

CEAC website says Administrative Processing
USTRAVELDOCS website says "Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery"

Spoke with helpline, they are saying passport already with Blue Dart for delivery.

Can someone provide some info on what this could mean? I'm guessing interview call when the passport arrives with a slip included?

Thanks guys
