Need assistance

Although I have worked with people who have come to the US from other countries, I am not familiar with the documents required for you to work here and what kind of problems you could be having. Look in the International forum for threads on working in the US, and also, Suzanne4 is known as our site's resident expert on the intricacies of working in the US. She even has a thread devoted entirely to questions from people in similar circumstances to you. Hope this helps.

As I responded to your pm on this very same thing:

What role are you in at the agency? Is it management, or as a nurse making visits or seeing patients/clients? If not management then something was not as it seems when they did the petition.

I hate H1-B visas, have for a long time, and will continue to be against them wholeheartedly. You are owned by that agency, and cannot go anywhere else even if you wanted to leave. If they fire you for whatever reason, you have x-number of days to leave the US, plain and simple. I do not believe in nurses as slaves, and this is what this visa does to you. The company is also not required to pay you the same wage that it pays its other employees. Not sure how the H1-B was approved for you in the first place, suspect not all information was given about the job to the US government, especially when there are only 65,000 H1-B visas approved for a six month period.

There is no document for you to ask for, they own you. Sorry, but that is the just of it. You should have seen everything that was originally submitted for the visa in the first place, that was your responsibility to look at it then, not now. There is not a thing that can be done at all at this point. Since they even attempted this route, they were not on the up and up with you as they could have applied for the green card for you at that time, there was no retrogression then.
