  Does one really have to have a masters degree to be a automotive tech? In any case at least you can change employers with reasonable ease, not like the workers on L1 visa who can either put up or pack the bags and go home.

      Yep, 'tech' has negative connotations here for future reference. Or at very least, unskilled/uneducated connotations; which generally speaking are negative. The underlying reasoning is something akin to "if he was an engineer he wouldn't call himself a 'tech'"

  Talk to your state's Dept of Labor and Industry. Your state has a hotline for you to anonymously ask if what your employer is doing is legal, and if your employer has other H1B visa holders, you can likely stay anonymous during their investigation. They won't move fast, but triple damages and a nice fine for your employer can be a sweet reward for their fraud against you. On a sidenote, the H1B strategy is very common in the Engineering field, most consultancies figure they can get a decade of work at below American wages out of the average H1B visa holder, saving them a few hundred thousand.
