neha_garg123 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi Guys, I participated in part time CPT in 2013 for 45 hrs. It was a paid part-time CPT for less than 20 hrs a month. I worked for my employer from Nov 21 to Dec 23. A Cooperative agreement was also signed between DSO and Employer for this with a per hour wage agreement. After working there, my employer never paid me or send me a W2 or paystubs. I tried to follow-up on my missing wages, but never got a response from this company. It has been over a year, and now I have applied for a OPT. I have gotten a RFE on my OPT, and I have been asked for W2 and paystubs, which my employer is not ready to furnish. I am extremely worried as I only have 15 days remaining to graduate. Please suggest if I can send a DOL notice to my employer for 2013. Any help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

jairichi Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 A year has passed and nothing much can be done. Talk to your DSO as there was an agreement between your employer and DSO. And, how far are you sure that your CPT is legitimate? Did you check with an attorney? Link to comment
neha_garg123 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yep based on the agreement , DSO thinks that this was a legitimate CPT. I worked there for 4 hrs every day but the firm was in financial troubles so they didnt pay many of their full time employees either. Can I file a complaint with DOL and show this complaint letter in RFE? Link to comment

Can I file a complaint with DOL and show this complaint letter in RFE? First point of contact is DSO. Then an attorney. Get their opinion and proceed accordingly. Link to comment
