Comments on: Will I Be Deported If I Complain Against My H-1B Employer? http://employeerightswisconsin.com/2008/11/26/will-i-be-deported-if-i-complain-against-my-h-1b-employer/ Information for WI Employees & H1-B Workers about Unpaid Wages, Fraud, Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, Equal Rights Division, ERD, Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, WFEA, EEOC, Mediation, Litigation Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:53:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: employeerightswisconsin http://employeerightswisconsin.com/2008/11/26/will-i-be-deported-if-i-complain-against-my-h-1b-employer/#comment-238 employeerightswisconsin Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:08:20 +0000 http://employeerightswisconsin.wordpress.com/?p=591#comment-238 I am sorry to hear your job was terminated. From the general information you describe, there may be strong grounds (and strong proof) for a retaliation claim. However, I could not provide you legal advice without communicating directly with you and evaluating the full situation (e.g. learn more about what the documents, witnesses and other sources of evidence indicate). You could contact an attorney for further assistance, and someone at DOL may be able to tell you (whether you have an attorney or not) how to file a new or amended WH-4 complaint that adds a retaliation claim. If you want to have an attorney evaluate your matter or take action, you should look into this promptly, as legal deadlines apply to any potential legal claim for retaliation. Unfortunately, the existence of anti-retaliation laws often do not alone stop an employer from retaliating, just like the presence of a stop sign does not make all drivers stop their cars. Some will ignore or disregard the rules. I wish you the best, and am sorry again to hear of your job loss. I am sorry to hear your job was terminated.

Now they are terminating my employment. How is it possible for them to do so if there is a law? Are there any loop holes for them to prove it is not a retaliation.
