i read that this is not allowed in the new immigration law.
is this retroactive? i need to know because i paid $5000 just to get out of my previous employer who sponsored my H1B.

inders99 or anybody who has an idea : help ! you said that it is illegal to pay your current employer just to get out of them. do you happen to keep related articles about this law or have a copy of the law itself ? I\'m in the same dilemma right now. My current employer told me that if ever I leave the company, they\'re going to sue me to pay a certain amount (a bond specified in the contract that I signed). If I\'m going to tell them that what they\'ll do is illegal, I want to present proof that what they are asking is illegal.
Thanks in advance !

I know of some one to whom employer has filed a case against.
The employee lost the case, the reason was - he just simply ignored the court dates and never attended the court.
Mainly employers ( if he can ) will file a case in remote state where you can not attend every time and once you don\'t attaned the case you have lost it.
Practically no employer can ask you to pay any bond money.
Get a proper lawyer, possibly the lawer will charge you % of what he will save for you or earn for you

Hi Friends, I am here on H-1. My employer X couldn\'t place me and I got new employer Y. I sent my resignation to X and joined Y as Y has filed my application for visa transfer. Now X is asking for around $10000 as liquidity damages. The bond I signed had clearly stated that I have to pay if I leave while working on a project and nowhere the minimum time period was mentioned for I should be with employer X. Pls suggest.
Thanks

Tera,
Which state are you in? I was on H1 for 5 years and dealt with this problem myself. Never paid anything to any employer. Before they could sue me I started a DOL proceeding against them and they paid my dues and we settled out of court. Those damn bonds are illegal in the state of California as CA is a \'right to work\' state. What I would suggest that find ex-employees of employerX and make a combined complaint. I am sure a crooked employer like this tried this tactic with many of its ex-employees. If you have questions send me an email : prakuda2000@yahoo.com.
Best of Luck

You may have a private contract with an employer which would legally bind
you to pay. However, according to INS the employer cannot make you pay the
$1000 H1-B fee. Also, it seems likely DOL will be interested to know if the
employer is taking unfair advantage of your alien status.
I would contact your attorney. Then contact DOL and INS.
