Hello

I was employed by a company which sponsored my H1b, they
were late on payments and did not pay me at all between Feb
2009 to Nov 2009 (I left at end of Nov 2009). I have now
found another employment, and I cannot start at the new
company, I am doing a new H1b, since it was out of status
for this whole time. I will be leaving the US to reset my
H1b, the process is already started and I have another week
until I get an answer back, then I will need to leave the
country to renew the H1b.

Now comes my question, when I return or even before them,
is there a way to force the old company to pay my salary?
Or are they completely free from consequences?

My current immigration lawyer cannot answer this question
because he was the lawyer to both cases, the old company
and the new. Conflict of interest I guess.

Please let me know as soon as possible.

God bless, Mario
