Ajmeri Baba gives right path to life

I am on H1B visa and working for a desi company. Though initially my employer was good to me, but recently he changed his behavior towards me. He started exploiting me. He insisted that I stayed in office and work till 8.30, when all the others used to leave at sharp 6 p.m. He suddenly also started paying me less money saying that he could not afford my salary as the company was going through a rough patch. He told me that if I didn’t accept the cut in salary, then he would have to let me go. I was in a tough situation as the skill set that I am working on, was going low those days, and he knew that it will be difficult for me to arrange a better job at such a short notice. I kept working there, but one day he decided to drop me completely, without any notice. I told him that I have bills to pay, he can not just tell me to go, and he will have to pay my salary. He called me to collect my check after 2 days. When I went there and asked for my check, he got into an argument with me and then called 911 and complained to them that I had threatened him. Though the police left me after a warning, I really got upset, as I had never gone through such situation in life. I did not have enough money to pay to a lawyer to file a suit against him and I thought that I will have to accept this insult and go back to my country. Just to take a chance, I called Ajmeri Baba and asked him if I will be able to come back to this country again? Baba told me that I don’t even have to leave the country, so where is the question of coming back. He told me that he would definitely help me, and I will have another job within 15 days time. That gave me some hope, and I started looking. I got an offer at similar salary within a week’s time. This company filed for my visa transfer under premium processing and I started working for them. After a week, my previous employer called me and asked me if I wanted to come back to the job. I told him, that I will consider it after he pays my earlier salary, but I will not come to collect the money. He posted my check to my home. After clearing of the check, I called him and told him that I don’t care to work for such a spineless creature anymore. I have a better job and a better company now. He was shocked. I was so happy and confident again. Now I have been working for this company for a year, and I am really satisfied with my job. Thank you so much Ajmeri Baba. God bless you.
