Does anyone know what the minimun salary for H1 for a software developer
(web developer) almost entry level position might be? I am in Kansas,
average salaries for that position are in the low 40k per year.
Thanks,

What do you mean by software developer ? A Visual C++/Java/Oracle
developer ?

Or you were thinking about web developer (who creates ASP / PERL / CGI
/ HTML / Flash pages), because these two things differ in payment

The salary for somebody on H1 has to be at least 95% of the prevailing wage
for the occupation in the particular metropolitan area. The employment agency
of your state has the figures for the prevailing wages. Check their website.

i am canadian on h1b (was on tn)
when i came in here, i asked my company 10% OVER the average r&d 5 salary an
american would normally charge, for a simple reason:
in canada (just like in here), we have the same problem
and I DID NOT WANT anybody to tell me "hey, you've stolen my job"
because the company offered me 10% over the average american r&d 5, i
accepted their offer (now i can sleep well, because i know VERY WELL that
they needed me badly and I DID NOT STILL ANYBODY'S JOB)
also (just like in canada) in here it doesn't rain with computer science
PhDs... but that's another story...
