immigration law

[krishna raj k]

I am looking for experiences filing the wh 4 with dol. What kind of problems may be around. Is there a time limit before which the complaint should be filed.

I left the company about 1.2 years ago. There was no termination letter and there was no letter from me either. I was sick of his games and joined another company using AC21 and with EAD.

Can I claim for the period of H1 without pay from him ? If so, how far back can I claim. I have dates back till y2001 that he did nt pay.

I now have my gc and hope to teach him a lesson. In the best case, I want him to be behind bars and his company with lots of penalty and barred from hiring immigrants.

Any help. I am hoping to file a complaint end of this month.

Thanks.

complaint to dol (regarding wage issues) should be addressed within 6 months from the date of violation. violation pertaining to cobra may be allowed upto 1 year.

you can claim backwages for any number of years as long as the last violation occured within past 6 months.

but there are cases when dol took charge even when the violation occurred years back due to severity of the case.

you may approach dol and seek assistance. if its not entertainable due to timelimits then you may sue privately (if its really worth it).

I am sure its worth it since it would get me half a SF home.

My problem is if I have any problem for the duration that he didnt pay and also if anything may be questioned re gc since he was my original sponsor.

in that case sue your ex-employer and teach them a lesson.

as long as you used ac21 after i140 approval and 6 months of i485 filing then you dont have to bother much.

have a free or nominal initial consultation with good lawyer WITHOUT providing employer name to ensure that the lawyer or the law firm does not represent that company.

Continuing on this discussion, I really would bring everyone's attention in Furthering the DOL's process of tracking down Unscrupulous Employers through the Whistle-Blower program to further Have their Respective Country's Government Trak these People Down, In the EVent they Return or Think to Return to original Native Country...

This is very much necessary as a NExt STep...

Further, The other Common Tendency by People Running this Sort of Business is, for People to Get a Canadian Residency of some sort, inorder if any Issues occur to their Stays in US. Hence, It is Very Much Necessary, that USCIS Convey to Canada the Threats potentially These People Pose over There...

If these Steps are NOT Taken then, Loopholes will continue to be digged into, esp. by Such people looking for Those.
