What should I do if my employer asks me to work illegally?
Answer
If employer asks you to work illegally:
- Refuse immediately - working illegally can get you deported and banned
- Document everything (emails, messages, conversations)
- Report to authorities: DOL, USCIS, or ICE
- Find new employer and file H-1B transfer
- Consult immigration attorney for guidance
Examples of illegal work: Working without valid status, working for different employer without transfer, working in different location without LCA.
