My employer is being investigated by DOL, how does that affect me?

[kiranmm13]

Hello all,

I received a letter from Department of Labor (DOL) that my employer is being investigated for hourly wages and labor rights. I am on H1B visa with this employer. The letter says that want to interview me on phone or person.

How does this affect me?

My green card is being processed by this employer under EB3 and last week I have interview with the local office and the officer said your file looks strong and ready to be approved, once we have visa numbers we will approve it right away?

If they find him guilty or something in investigation what happens to my H1B and green card processing?

Please advice, I am getting very nervous, I think I have to call the DOL.
Thanks.

Hi
It depends upon what they find out.Kindly be truthful and answer honestly.At least that will save your skin.If he has done some thing wrong , the employer will be in trouble and hence your GC.
Thanks

How will my GC be in trouble if they find he has done something wrong? On what basis will that affect my GC?

If they find immigration fraud is being commited by the employer, they may reopen the already approved immigration petitions and even deny those. Not very likely but it is possible.
