These aren't opinions — they're federal laws and DOL rules that protect you at every stage of your visa journey.
If you're on H-1B and between projects, your employer must still pay your full LCA wage. "No project, no pay" is a direct Department of Labor violation — not a company policy.
DOL ViolationThe wage your employer committed to pay you in the Labor Condition Application is publicly searchable on the DOL iCERT portal. You can look it up yourself — no login needed.
Look It UpThe moment a new employer files your H-1B transfer petition, you can legally start working for them. You don't need USCIS approval first — portability kicks in immediately on filing.
Portability RuleNo employer may hold your passport, I-94, I-797, or Social Security card under any circumstance. Holding personal identity documents is a federal crime under forced labor statutes.
Federal Crime to HoldYour employer must be E-Verify registered to sponsor STEM OPT. Before accepting any offer on STEM OPT, verify their E-Verify status at e-verify.gov. A non-compliant employer can cost you your STEM extension.
Check Before You SignIf you ask about your rights, consult an attorney, or file a DOL complaint — your employer cannot terminate you, threaten visa cancellation, or take any adverse action. Retaliation is itself a federal violation.
