Employer not paying

[nagwaa]

Hi,

 

My employer is not paying me for the past 3 months. I am thinking of raising a request to DOL. What will be my H1 status if DOL closes my employer business? How many days will I have to find a new employer?

 

Kindly suggest me a way to get my salary with minimal impact to my H1 status.

 

Thanks,

Nag

You are safe to transfer your H1B petition to any new employer if you file a complaint with DOL. This option is the one that will have minimal impact on your career in US.

Filing a WH4 with DOL is your only option.

DOL won't close the employer. They can't do that. What they can do is forcing the employer to pay you.

you should change your employer immediately...good thing you have complained to DOL..they would throw these fraud employers out of business.

Why are you working for someone who does not pay you? Are your qualifications so bad that no one else will hire you? If not, get busy looking for a new job.

Don't delay complaint to DOL and transfer H1B to new employer.

In most of the cases DOL will ask your employer to pay you can't close the business but it takes long time.
