I entered the US a couple weeks ago with a H2B visa. The agency that helped me obtaining the visa (for $3100 fee; some workers paid up to $3600) holds my passport. When I insist to get my passport back, they tell me that Immigration authorizes them to do so, which i doubt. Now I am working with my sponsor company, and want to extend my visa they don’t want to give me my passport back.
My questions are the following:
Is it legal for an agency to charge $3600 for a H2B visa?
Is it legal for an agency to keep a worker passport?
In such a situation, what can I do to extend my visa?
I am waiting for your help please
