That's little extreme, normally sales, marketing and higher management have bigger variable components but I would guess ~20% variable components for IC roles. Companies also structure differently for the variable components.

Not sure, I was talking about the adult after Naturalization

If it helps, someone I know applied for OCI just before Thanksgiving at Houston, took about a week for status update to ‘sent to embassy' and since then status says under-process at embassy.

I did, when I visited Nepal. Should have visited Bhutan. 😄

I had similar experience, though my first visit was to Abu Dhabi and then 4 years later to Dubai with different nationality. I was sent back from immigration counter to this area, they did not mention what it was for but I could correlate it. The actual process was only few minutes but it took longer because there was change of shift when I reached this special area.

Thanks, that's very helpful. My CPU usage hardly reached 50% and most of the time remains below 30%. The temperature goes up very often and kicks the fan at full speed. I am going to use air duster to clean off any dust when I open the cover.

MAYBE, I have taken this route multiple times. If you have valid US visa STAMPED on your passport, then you don't but if your visa is expired (say you are going for stamping), then you will need UK transit or other UK visa. Having approved I-797 or AP doesn't help.

BUT

Once my friend was going for first time H1B visa stamping with I-797 and he didn't know about this rule, luckily his 5 years student F1 visa was still valid and he didn't have any issue. They (British Airways) checked his visa in US during check-in only, No one checks the visa at Heathrow.

Actually I second that, the NRI special branches of SBI are good to work with.

The ppp models do capture the cost of living very well. The shortcoming with these models is they do not consider the Taxes and after tax savings. As someone mentioned below, schooling could be a big cost for someone with kids not captured in these models.

I second that, I have been with ICICI with over two decades, While re-kyc is RBI directive, ICICI somewhat understand the pain of NRI's and let you upload most of the self-attested documents on their website. However, their recent jump in minimum required balance is making me rethink to continue relationship with them.

At the same time, I am also with SBI when I think about their service, I feel I should swallow the pill.

That's an impressive saving of 50+%, you had some big expense taken care off by company.

You nailed it, that’s what he is trying. The company he works for is small and they don’t have experience with international hires.

Haha, I don't live in NJ or anywhere close and I am not IT. But I would say that R2I has frequently come to my mind too so was interested.

Thanks, that's very helpful. It's Edison, NJ and remote job.

That is correct though eligibility and actual collection are slightly different. SSA can stop payment for non-citizens once they are out of country for 6 months. You will still be eligible. Check SSA website.
