My employer did not run my payroll for several months, but is now paying me those wages in lump sums in January and February 2020. Because of this, the total wages listed on my 2019 W-2 is well below the wage on my LCA. Will this cause problems with my H1B extension?
09 Jan 2020An employer is typically required to pay its employees at least once per month. Delaying payments by several months would likely be a violation of state law and immigration law. It could also be viewed as a violation of your nonimmigrant status, depending on the circumstances. I recommend you schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys who can review your situation in greater detail and advise you on how best to proceed. (09.Jan.2020)
