Hi,

When I renewed my work Visa at my job which I had worked at for 3 years previously on a O1 visa my employer stated that I had to work there for at-least a year or I would have to pay the $4,500.00 back to him. Is it legal to do that? I really want to change my jobs and do not want to wait another 6 months for the year period to be over or have to pay back the $4.5k.

Really appreciate your help
