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.
