H1-B Work Permit Approved

H1-B Approval Notice

When for someone a simple task such as getting an Post-Graduation OPT turned into a mind-wrecking time, this notice is especially sweet. Especially given the fact that it took just over a week after I submitted it. Perhaps USCIS felt a twinge of pity and meted out karmic justice. Or perhaps I should wait until the document is produced and mailed to me.

    Welcome. Your paycheck just got smaller. Now you get to pay Social Security too! BTW, as a tip, ensure that your payroll dept knows you are on H1b and they need to start deducting SS tax else you’ll pay a hefty amnt at the end of the year.

      Since I was a resident alien, I was already paying SS and Medicare taxes so makes little difference to me, tax-wise.
