My GC sponsoring A has not paid me approx two months hourly wages after I left the company A and joined a different company B using AC21(I joined company B 8 months after my I140 from company A was approved). I've been working for the new company B for more than 2 months now.

Company A is now instead threatening to take legal action against me saying that I had made up my mind to leave them as soon as I was eligible to use AC21 and that I had no intent to stay with them. This is totally untrue since I made every effort to stay with them but they were just unable to find me a new project.

Pl advise what options do I have to get my 2 months wages?
 
If you have informed USCIS of your job change you are safe. Tell your threatening employer Kiss My ***
You can counter threat them of informing DOL of unpaid wages.

----------- you had the Intent at the time of filing I-485 and you changed it after 180 days of I-485 and nothing wrong with that. do you have any evidence of past employer threatening ? let them take what ever legal action they want to take you are safe and need not to worry if you got new job and that employer is ready to give you permanent job offer letter with same/similar job duties and you can invoke AC21
This is totally untrue since I made every effort to stay with them but they were just unable to find me a new project.
------------- find project or no project they need to pay you

If you performed the work in Texas, it does not matter where your employer is, file a complaint with Texas Workforce Commission attested by notary. Work force will take care; they will kick your ex-employer's a**, freeze his bank account and get your money.

If you have worked any where else file a complaint with labor department in in you employer's home state, he will not get any labor cleared the state level here after.
