My employer’s been charged with the willful violations of H-1B (in April) by D.O.L. (willful failure to pay wages;visa processing fees) and they’ve appealed, but the final decision isn't made. Meanwhile, my H-1B extension petition’s filed and approved. I’m traveling to my country soon and get my visa renewed, but the employer advises not to travel because two employees are known unable to come back from traveling to their country assuming that it’s something to do with the D.O.L. situation. But the exact reasons for the hold were not known. My question is whether your request for the visa renewal could be denied or your reentry denied just because of the not finalized D.O.L determination despite your possession of the H-1B extension approval notice. I received a c.mail from D.O.L.
