Dear Sir ,

You have told me to talk to DOL - Dept Of Labour .

By the way , Iam in CA and my employer is in NJ . My payroll runs from NJ . Should I contact DOL of CA OR DOL OF NJ .

Can you pls share the contact details of DOL and address with email and relevant information . I am very much depressed and lost interest for what I am . My days are running very bad becoz of lack of funds . Pls help me and advice me in a better way and do the needful .

I shall be great and thankful to you sir .

Thanks
Reddy .
 
Reddy,

Look for wage and hour division of DOL. They have a special arbitration office for h1b. You can file the complain with local DOL in CA but eventually it will be transferred to the NJ DOL. I would call them and check where it needs to be filed.

Don't worry you will get your money back. Sometimes it takes longer..sometimes it just needs a phone call from DOL investigator and they cough up the money :)..

Hope it helps.

Who is your employer ? I had the same problem and you can file a complaint in DOL California Office in Salary and Wages division.
you can call on this # : 1-866-4-USWAGE and get california office #.


Good luck!
 
Being on H-1 status means your employer has to meet the wage as stated on the H-1 petition. If they are not paying you, you are not in status. You should definitely contact an attorney.
 
Hi, I have Q's about this.

I am too in a similiar position. When you say, that we are "out of status" , but whose fault is this ? not us , this is becas of employer, so employer should get punished, not an employee.

In my case, my I-140 has been approved, so making complaint against my employer, will affect my future green card process ??

pl let me know.

Thanks in advance.
