There is no "average" income. There are set income limits decided upon by the US Department of Education based on poverty guidlines from the prior year. These limits are dependent upon your family size. Here is a brief listing of family size and income limits for the 2006-2007 California Board of Governors fee waiver application:\n\nFAM SIZE                    2005 INCOME\n1                                  14355\n3                                   19245\n4                                   29025\n6                                   38805

Ask them for name and address. Since you will be paying them as part of your business, then they are your employees and they need to fill out a W-4 Form.  \n\nIf you are paying customers for services rendered then they are Independent contractors, and you will need to send them Form 1099 at the end of the year.

First you must put a firm starting point.  You have to feel that if the benifits aren't up to snuff then you can ask for more, and if it's a job that you really want then you would be ok if they offer less.  But they ask for salary requirements for a reason, and that is for a starting point not to waste your or their time.

I think it only depends on your income if you can sponsor somebody or not.\nIf you have already sponsored somebody, you know that your household income must be at least 125% of the Federal poverty line for your household size.\nThe household size includes yourself, all persons related to you by birth, marriage, or adoption living in your residence, your dependents, any immigrants you have sponsored before and the obligation has not terminated and the immigrant you want to sponsor.\nThe minimum income required is:\n$ 16037 for a household size of 2\n$ 20112 for a household size of 3\n$ 24187 for a household size of 4\n$ 28262 for a household size of 5\nIf you live in Alaska and Hawaii the numbers are different.\nFor more info go to http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/I-864p.pdf and http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-864pkg.pdf

You should probably speak with a tax attorney or an accountant to make sure you follow federal guidelines.

It depends on how much you are making and how many dependents you are claiming. The tax standards were raised this year.

Go to the U.S. Department of Labor website and look up the prevailing wage stats for each position nationally and in the area(s) you intend to find a job in.  That should give you a really good idea what to expect from a reputable employer.

The United States does not tax nonresident aliens on income from personal services performed outside the country, regardless of citizenship or residence.  \n\nSection 871 imposes a tax on investment income and compensation from US sources, and income connected with a trade or business carried on by the individual in the United States.\n\nSection 864 provides that the performance of personal services in the US is considered carrying on a trade or business in the US.\n\nSections 861-862 provide that income from personal services has its source where the services are performed.\n\nBased on all these provisions, your wife should not have income from US sources and should not be subject either to income tax or to social security taxes.  \n\nSometimes it is difficult to get employers to accept this, but these are the rules.  Since the employer is a large company they should have experience with this and you should not have any problems.\n\nIf your wife travels to the US on business, then there is a possibility she would be subject to US tax on the compensation attributable to the time she spends working here.\n\nYou should confirm this advice with your tax advisor.

I would suggest setting up a flat rate for each service within a certain mileage limit of your home. If you make more than $400 in a "hobby" then you must file Schedule C- Business profit or loss. If you run this like a business, you are eligible to deduct milage regardless of what you charge your clients. \n\nHourly rates of $15-30 are not unreasonable because if these affluent people's time is spent making the big money, they wouldn't second guess your prices.
