Seems like employer trying to commit fraud

[sapist]

Hello Immigration experts,

 

I have accepted a full time offer from a new firm A for $$$K per annum and I had started working for them since 1st October2013.

 

My employer has not shared LCA\I94 (neither original\nor copy) documents with me until I asked for it.I got my H1b documents very recently after putting so much of pressure on him.I have observed that my LCA was filed with only 60% of my annual salary. I am not sure what is his motive to do this ? 

 

Also, I do not have project for the 1st month and I got paid only 60% of $$$K(As mentioned in offered letter).I am new immigration laws and I was not known that there is no concept of BENCH for full time employees.Otherwise I would have said a big NO to the offer.

 

In the first pay (BENCH) stub, they have shown that they are paying $$$K to me against Internal trianing and Transition.And deducted 40% against "OTHERS" from my paystub. Infact I was not given any training nor transition .

 

In If I leave my employer before 18 months of joining , I have to pay lawyer fees, training fees etc., 

 

How should I respond in these situation ? Your help is appreciated and may be this is useful for new H1b people. 

 

Thanks.

Have your contract reviewed by an attorney.

 

He is only required to pay the prevailing wage which is the likely amount on the LCA to meet government requirements. 

 

He paid you so you are better off than most on the bench.

Only the LCA salary is mandatory and they seem to be paying that even on bench. Your contract needs to be reviewed by a Labor Lawyer.
