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.
