CONTRACT WITH MY COMPANY with H1

[rkolmi]

Hi

I have questions regarding my h1B visa. Like I came on H1b and my employer and company is based in NJ. But now I'm working in California and filed employer filed new LC for california state.
I have signed contract saying that i wont leave the company for 2 years.
my employer is taking advantage of it not paying good salary in CA which expensive. I would like to know if i break contract and join main vendor in CA.
Does my present employer will create any problem or just i can change the company with new H1 transfer.. ? Can he sue me for breaking the contract..Please advise...


Thanks in advance!!!

as long as you are paid equal or greater than the prevailing wage for your job in your location then you cannot do anything about it.

per law you should have the h1-labor. check that labor: it will have the wage details. make sure it states the appropriate work location too.

CA is at will employment state. california strongly discourages such contracts or bonds but depends on exact wordings.

joining your vendor or your client or your client using any of the other vendor may be a contract violation and is very serious. check with local lawyer in CA about your case.
