My company sponsored me for a green card 3 years ago. I received this card 6 months ago. Before the green card process began, I had to sign an agreement that I would stay with the company for two years after approval of my green card. If I left sooner than 2 years, the company reserved the right to try to reclaim all expenses incurred in the green card process. Since filing for my green card, my company (a relatively large specialty products manufacturer) has performed dismally and declared bankruptcy last year. The company has seen a vast exodus of employees. Working conditions have deteriorated a lot and we do not have any capital to do any projects. Additionally, my green card petition was filed under the "outstanding professor/researcher" category (I have a PhD) and all the work related to the petition (whether it be collecting letters or completing forms) was done by me. The company lawyer just filed all documents. Given that the company is in such bad shape and has lots of people leaving, can they still make a case of it and reclaim all expenses from me if I choose to leave the company? Can a case be made that they cannot reclaim expenses mainly as the company cannot provide the same environment as was promised to me when the green card petition was initially filed? As the company has declared bankruptcy and since all contracts agreed to be the company have to go through the bankruptcy court, would the "bond" still be valid?
Thanks
