Another H1B Desi Consultant contract breach issue

[adh1us]

I read the previous H1B contract breach issues on this forum. My previous employer sent an email marking his lawyer that i need to pay X amount for contract violation and X amount for processing H1B.

 

Whats puzzling me is that can you really mark a lawyer on an email and ask her to start leagal action to collect my H1 fees ?

 

I read in multiple posts that collecting H1 fees from the employee is not legal. I wonder how can a lawyer be marked on such email.

 

In any case, can a lawyer really send a notice asking me to pay the H1B processing fee ?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Check your contract first and show it to a labor attorney if it is not crystal clear. I believe they could ask you to pay attorney fees but not your H1B filing fee. Wait for other members to respond.

Your shady fraud employer cannot ask you to pay for the H1B costs....you contact a very good lawyer and counter sue them and close their shop.

If that email was really about H1 fee then I said you got a upper hand here.

An employer by LAW is not supposed to ask you H1 fee, you can now file a complaint against that FRAUD employer.
