vicrf Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hello, A company filed for my H1b in September, which was approved on October 6, but the company has no project for me to work on, although I've already had 3 interviews with clients and even training. Due to lack of projects, I've never received a single payment up to now. I read somewhere that H1b holder had to receive salary, even without a project. Is that true? thanks! Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 You have7Yes, that is true. On H1, you have to get paid all the time, even on bench without a project. That's specified in 20 CFR 655.731. The employer knows this, since it was emphasized right when they filed the LCA. If your employer doesn't want to pay you, you should file a complaint with DOL on form WH4. The DOL will make the employer pay you. Link to comment
