Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Charges of H1

Hello Sir/Madam,

I need your help, my question is my employer didnt pay me a part of the last month (I worked for him) wages, and he said they are for his H1 Charges. Is this right that I need to pay him for the H1 Charges? My Salary was 5K and he paid me 2K and also my H1 was before the fees increased i.e. for the year of 2006 which he filed.

Please let me know, so that I can proceed that way.

Thanks,

Anupama

Re: Charges of H1

You can report the employer to both the Texas Workforce Commission and USCIS. The employer is prohibited from charging you the USCIS filing fees on the H1b. (If you had a separate contractual agreement regarding attorney fees, however, you may be liable for those).
