question on GC contract

Well, my company asked me to write a contact to execute a bond before filing the labor. As per the bond I am supposed to serve one year after receiving theGC.They did not mention the contract about GC at the time of appointment. We talked at lenght about the GC at the time of appointment. I have told the same that I was not informed about the contract. However they have mentioned that the would like me to sign the contract "with good faith". Lot happenned. Labor got delayed for more than 2 years. My case got delayed further by attorney's office and my employer due to "office" delays. Namecheck had its last nail . The case which was filed in 2001 is yet to see the light, stuck at I-485.
I am hopeful that due to the recent developments I may see some light soon. As per the bond I am supposed to serve one year after receiving theGC.
Now the question is how valid is the bond, given all the "good faith" in the process is gone. Ditched by one and all in the system, do I have any leagal options to deny the contract?

Please let me know

When there is a contract/bond to be signed after you have commenced employment, it cannot be one sided. If it is then it is unenforceable.
Thanks. If I understand I should be able to challenge the bond. Right?

Yes.

However, if you are signing an agreement where company will pay for greencard expenses and you will reimburse if you leave before a certain point then that is enforceable.
Sorry if I have confused you on this.
The company is paying the green card expenses. I have agreed to join the company based on this. However they did not mention that I need to pay the gc expenses if I leave before a certaion point. Later before filing GC they asked me to sign this. As my H1 was already beyond 6 yrs I had no other go. but I tried to convince them that it was not discussed at the time of appointment. My employer agrreed that it was not discussed however CONVINCED me to sign the agreement in good faith. Now my case was delayed beyond resonable time limit. My colleagues who applied got the approvals two years back and I am still waiting. Now my question is since the "good faith" is all gone, can I leave the company as soon as I get my GC?
Will I be obligated to pay the expenses since it was not discussed at the time of joining?
