Non compete agreement - H1B transfer

[the1]

I have joined a consulting company, California based in 2011 and I have signed the Non-compete agreement which says I cannot accept employment with client for period of 2 years after termination of project.

 

Now I'm in virginia working for direct client and the client is offering me full-time position.

 

Just wondering will my employer will have any chance to take legal action on me. As far as I know in california these Noncompete clasues are void.

 

 

just trying to understand, the con-compete i signed is as per california rules and now I'm in virginia, are these CA rules still valid VA.

 

And what happens to I140 priority date. can I still retain my priority date even after my employer revokes my I140.

 

 

Please suggest.

Non-compete agreements in California are not valid.

Thanks for the reply.

Does it mean even if I accept full time with Virginia client , my employer has no chances to take legal action on me Booz the doc I signed is base on California
