 If the contract expired after one calendar year. You can easily go to Small Claims Court. It DOEST NOT matter of immigration status!

 Have you ever get slip referral from agency???

 "Every such licensee shall give to every applicant, who is sent out for a job or for an interview with a prospective employer, a card or printed paper or letter of introduction which shall be called a "referral slip" containing the name of the applicant, the name and address of the employer to whom the applicant is sent for employment, the name and address of the agency, the name of the person referring the applicant, and the probable duration of the work, whether temporary or permanent. The referral slip shall contain a blank space in which the employment counselor shall insert and specify in a prominent and legible manner whether the employment service fee is to be paid by the applicant or by the employer, or in the case of a split-fee, the percentage of the fee to be paid by the applicant and the percentage of the fee to be paid by the employer, or shall state whether the fee is to be negotiable between the employer and the employee. A duplicate of all such referral slips shall be kept on file in the agency for a period of one year. In the event that the applicant is referred to a job or to a prospective employer by telephone or telegraph, the referral slip shall be mailed to the applicant and to the prospective employer before the close of the business day on which the telephoned or telegraphed referral was given. No person shall be sent out for a job or to interview a prospective employer unless he has been personally interviewed by the agency or has corresponded with the agency with the purpose of securing employment. 

If the employer pays the fee, and the employee fails to remain in the position for a period of 30 days, such licensee shall refund to the employer all fees, less an amount equal to 25% of the total salary or wages paid such employee during the period of such employment, within 3 days after the licensed person has been notified of the employee's failure to remain in the employment, provided such 25% does not exceed the amount charged for a permanent position of like nature. 

 If the employee pays the fee and is discharged at any time within 30 days for any reason other than intoxication, dishonesty, unexcused tardiness, unexcused absenteeism or insubordination, or otherwise fails to remain in the position for a period of 30 days, thru no fault of his own, such licensee shall refund to the employee all fees less an amount equal to 25% of the total salary or wages paid such employee during the period of such employment within 3 days of the time such licensee has been notified of the employee's failure to remain in the employment, provided the 25% does not exceed the charge for a permanent position of like nature. All refunds shall be in cash or negotiable check. 

 If the employee has promised his prospective employer to report to work at a definite time and place and then fails to report to work, such circumstances shall be considered prima facie evidence that the employee has accepted the employment offered. 

 Where a dispute concerning a fee exists, the department may conduct a hearing to determine all facts concerning the dispute and shall after such hearing make such recommendations concerning such dispute as shall be reasonable."
