I came to USA through company ABC. ABCasked me to sign a bond which in brief
1) Must work with them for atleast 1 YEAR,
2) Must give notice before leaving.
3) If we stay in company's guest house(During Bench),
we have to pay $800/month for food and shelter.
I signed the contract as I had no otherway as I had already landed in USA. They did not find a job for me for 1month. So no salary for 1-month. I tried on my own, and could settle in the job. After 5 months I got another job with company XYZ. XYZdid H1B Transfer, and joined XYZ company.
The old employer ABC has sued me asking for apprx. $6000 as I breach the contract. In brief notice says
1) ~$1500 for Processing my VISA
2) ~$3500 for lack of 3 weeks notice
3) ~1100 Cash Advance (Paid for my AIRFARE + 300 advance)
I am willing to pay $1100 back to ABC. But they do n't accept.
Recently I have found a NEGETIVE DEBT of ~$6000 on my Credit History.
It spoiled my history.
here are my questions
1) Can ABC ask for H1B visa arranging fee ?
2) Can ABC have a restrictive bond with its employees?
3) Can they consult collection agents and spoil my credit history without my
attension?
4) what should be my next step?
best Regards
