Who is responsible to notify USCIS abt H1
Hi
In case my employer fails to run my payroll for a month, does this mean my status is illegal?Coz it would be a month before I know that the payroll is not run. In such case whose responsibility is it to inform USCIS about the H1 termination?

Re: Who is responsible to notify USCIS abt H1
If you are not being paid by your employer you may want to consider a wage and hour claim against your employer. It is the responsibility of the employer that hires you on H-1 to pay you the higher of the actual or prevailing wage. If the employer has terminated you it is their responsibility to send you as well as USCIS a termination letter and withdraw the related LCA.
