Agreement/Contract with Employer

[sreeky541]

Hi Everyone,

 

One employer filed h1b for myself and it got approved and came to US. My employer made me to sign an agreement before bringing me to US, that I will work for them for 1 year or I will pay them 10000$ and leave them.

 

Now I am planning to change the employer. Do I need to pay him at any cost?

If i dont pay him, will he be able to take a legal action against me?

 

Will he be able to revoke the H1b. Please provide me help on these?

 

Thanks

Sasi

A penalty for leaving the job early is illegal in the US.

Possible. Why do you sign those kind of agreements? Talk to a good labor attorney. Even if employer revokes your H1B petition it should not be a problem for any employer to file a cap exempt H1B petition for you anytime.
