I was actually fired that night...over the phone and without reasonable grounds. Fortunately I have a new job offer (within 24 hours) but I still would love to know they were wrong in firing a non immigrant just so easily. I'm waiting for a response from the Dept of Labor on that one. Welcome to America! Thanks. I was actually fired that night…over the phone and without reasonable grounds.

There are both Federal and State based employment standards and it sounds like a clear violation and they apply to all employees a company may hire. The problem lies in terms of the timing of you taking action. if you do manage to get employment somewhere else that would be great, then maybe that would give you time to take some form of action against your current employer. Remember the 10 days relates to the maximum amount of working days you can be without a job so you really need to start your other job which in practical terms give you so little time unless you begin a lot of the process while still at your current employer. I wish you weel and am sorry again to hear about your current situation as it really sucks the situation foreigners can sometimes find themselves in. Cj Hi E3 Issue,

I want to resign given I'm told this is not going to change and a common theme in this organisation. I know if I resign or am fired that I have 10 days to get another job. Almost impossible but possible having come so far. Is there any advice out there on employer legalities and their responsibilities hiring non immigrants? I bet there is??
