My employer did not pay me when the employer did not have projects for me. Employer paid me partially when the billing was less than 40 hours a week.

I wish to report this to DOL and USCIS. Could someone please guide me on forms and process for doing this?
 
Hi,

If you have all the proper documents to prove your case you can either file a case with DOL or file a lawsuit against the company in the court. In addition to your past wages, the court will order to pay an interest since the wages were due and some penalty. Filing a case can be a long drawn process but in the end you will win provided you are telling the truth and there is nothing fishy regarding your case.

I myself have usefully sued (while on H1B) and won against one of my previous employers for not paying wages as agreed. If you are filing a lawsuit there will be time limit before which you will have to file the lawsuit. Check with a good lawyer.

I didn't file with DOL but went for a private lawsuit through an attorney.

DL
