no W2 for the initial year

[kumark08]

Hi,

i got H1B first time in oct 2009, and was on bench for couple months( oct-nov), so i didn't have W2 for that year.

I do have W2 for 2010( 2009 DEC -2010 DEC) and current pay stubs. Now i've transferred to another company. Will 2009 W2 effect my visa stamping? i'm going for first time H1B stamping. F1-H1

thanks,

Kumar

On H1, you need to get paid ALL THE TIME, even on bench. That's the law.

Why did you wait for 2 years before checking on this?

You could have gotten the money you are owed if you had filed a complaint with DOL on time.

Only one way to find out.

The can ask for all W2 for all your time in the US.

There have been instances where people got into problems with this even when they applied for naturalization.

Now, in most cases they don't check for more than a few years back, but if there is anything else suspicious or shady, they very well may.

thanks for sharing your thoughts so far ...kindly please let me know how to get rid of this situation.

There is nothing you can do for it now. Just hope that you don't get cought due to this.
