More details to this question:
I performed the work in December and January and have sent my invoices in twice. I am a contractor. I have done everything they asked me to do... and still no payment. I am a single mom and am in need of this money. I chose the legal topic as close to what I could find that I thought it would fall under.

I am sorry this happened to you. If you performed the work in North Caroilna, then you would likely need to file here unless you signed a written contract or agreement that said you have to file in another state. There could be a problem in getting the company served with process if they do not have a physical presence in North Carolina and, if you can, it may be tough to collect the money. This is not really an employment question, which is my area, so my knowledge is limited. Best of luck to you.
