Recording for October 10, 2024 Conference Call with Rajiv S. Khanna
Nonimmigrant Visas
Topics Discussed:
Concerns regarding nonpayment of wages and potential H-1B impact
Question details
I arrived in the U.S. in the last week of May 2024, and despite innumerable requests, my employer has not run payroll for the weeks since my arrival. Could this pose any challenges for future H1B transfers, extensions, or I-140 processing? Is there a risk of scrutiny or denial due to this issue? If yes, could you guide how to mitigate this please?
FAQ Transcript
If your employer fails to pay you after starting your H-1B employment, it can pose challenges for future H-1B transfers. To address this:
- File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
- You can file online or by phone (search for "LCA complaint US Department of Labor").
- This complaint serves as evidence explaining the lack of pay stubs during future H-1B transfers.
- Employers must start paying when you're ready to work or within 30 days (if coming from outside the US) or 60 days (if already in the US), whichever is earlier.
- Filing a complaint may help you recover unpaid wages and protect your ability to transfer your H-1B in the future.

Its has been always pleasure to follow the guidance of Mr Rajiv Khanna and his team. They bring immense knowledge in immigration process and they have helped a lot in getting me through the phase of GC. From my non-immigrant visa to LPR, it has been a wonderful journey with Rajiv Khanna and his team. He is always reachable for any kind of discussions or clarification required. His team members especially Heather and Diane Lombardo are really outstanding. They are always on their tip of toes in providing the information and proactive in any process or information follow ups. I heartily recommend Rajiv Kanna's office for any immigration related process and there is no question of regretting.
Thank you very much Rajiv Ji and team!! God bless all!
