You are talking about the DS-160 which is filed by the applicant and not by the sponsor. But there are additional documents needed like sponsor letter from the employer(or relative if the DS-160 is for a family visit) stating the salary to be offered etc. People who had done the DS-160 would know this and I have done this several times.
And neither you or me know what papers were supplied and by whom, the point however is, IF the maid had filed the DS-160 and signed them on her own, she is responsible for the mistakes in the form, not Devyani. So the first thing to know would be, who's signature is on the paper.
Also the form says:
work...
primary occupation...
present employer
address...
...monthly salary
Present employer is Devyani what if the maid filled these parts as stated by the father and gave not only Devyani name, the address..., but also her monthly salary there? Then the US officials could have mistakenly took this as the salary of the maid as reported now in the news!
You are wrong when you state that the contract is done between the maid and the Indian Government. The Indian Government compensates these diplomats for the maids hired by them.
Not really, that was confirmed by several Indian government officials, the compensation to the diplomats is only a financial regulation, but they are hired from the government to assist in official representation of India, not for the private needs of the diplomat! Government of India has even stated that both held an official passport of the government.
And A3 visa norms dictate that minimum salary is to be offered to the maid as per US labor terms.
And that as I already showed is the crucial point! She was not able to fall under US labor terms, because she was not able work at the US labor market! So not the minimum wage is the issue, but which law really applies to official workers of the GoI including the diplomats!
And I am repeating for the umpteenth time - if you can't pay US minimum wages for the maid, then do not have a maid. Live like other Americans and even Indians living in US do - do your own household work. You are not a elite club here if you can't afford.
That's a nonsense statement, because she can afford it, but will do it like anybody else in India according to Indian laws. Who is judging according his emotions now?
what rule US broke in having the family moved to US? They are free citizens and they came on their own and flew with proper visa and Indian passports. If there is a case against Sangeetha, she is the accused. Not her father or brothers or husband or anyone. So there is no basis here in your argument.
As I already said, the there is an Indian warrant against the maid and a official investigation, how can the US then move out her relatives from India without consulting the Indian authorities? It's an active case and the US has no jurisdiction nor any right in India, to move out Indians that are involved in an investigation.
