I am currently employed and in a contract with my employer for 3 years which they made me sign prior to filing my H1B. They also made me sign an addendum which states that I need to pay them a certain amount if I terminate the contract. I am not sure if this contract is legally valid or not. Can I move to a different employer? Can my current employer create problems for me in any way legally? Please advice and share your experiences. Thanks much!

First of all u need to be loyal to your employer. For the sake of H1b you signed the agreement and invited trouble all by yourself!! .
Yes, they can go legally but most of them don't do that. Please try to have discussion with your employer and sort it out. Do not mess it up is what i would suggest.Comment

Check the contract to see of it defines the tenure and applicability of such provisions. No employer would dare take this to the court considering the cost involved and their reputation being at stake.Comment
