  • Not receiving pay - Out of status

    Hi

    I am in the US, working for my employer who has got my H1B visa filed. It has been about 2 months since I have come to US. My employer has not yet given me a single pay stub, because I had not got a project. I have got it now, so he says he will pay me in the next month or so.
    My question is:

    1) I think it is unlawful that am employer does not pay the employee(irrespective of him being or not being on a project). Is it true? If yes, can I take some action against my employer, without harming my own visa status?

    2) If I plan to transfer my visa, can it be done without pay stubs? Are there any possibilities for it?

    3) If the answer to the above question is NO, then do I need one pay stub, or two pay stubs to get a visa transfer done?

    I would be grateful if you could answer these questions.

    1. If you are not getting paid, you are out of status.
    You can file complaint against them, but you are in trouble because you are out of status.

      Hi

      Thanks for the reply. What does being Out of Status mean? If I get a pay check for the next month, will I be back to a legal status? If I file a complaint against them, what are the chances of it affecting my H1B status?

      I would appreciate your response.

        You are already illegal and if you file a complaint against them, you are just telling your direct contact information to government to catch you.

          Ok, that's bad. So back to my original question, if I start getting my pay stubs, will I become legal, or In Status?
