I joined a US based MNC (Berkeley Design Automation) in bangalore on Dec 16, 2010.
On Jan 03, 2011 I was sent to its USA office on B1 visa for the purpose of attending trainings and meetings.
But they made me work as a full time employee which is against US immigration laws.
I came back to Bangalore on Feb 02, 2011.
On Feb 04, 2011 they removed me from job saying my performance is not as expected.
As per the offer letter they are supposed to pay 2 months of salary as compensation for removal. They didn't pay saying that I was in probation period for first 6 months and they needn't pay the compensation.
The offer letter says that I will be in probation for first 6 months. It also tells that they will pay 2 months of salary as compensation if removed without prior notice. Offer letter doesn't mention that if removed during notice period they needn't pay the 2 months compensation.
After sending repeated mails to them they have accepted to pay 2 months of my salary as per the notice period. On Jan 21, 2012 they called me to take the same. When I went to take, they asked me to sign a letter saying that money is being paid just out of mercy and not as the company is due to me. I disagreed and came back.
Can I file a case against Berkeley Design Automation for:
1. For not paying my compensation as per the notice period
2. For viotaion of US immigration laws
Please help
