Unpaid wages, company threatening. Pls help!!

[asj000]

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?

Can I ask the name of the company - for the rest of us to be aware of such employers?

Yes, make a complaint to the Dept of Labor. They will take care of it and help you.
You're fairly safe as they won't investigate the reasons for which you left the previous company.
