I am currently going through a green card process with my company and they are asking me to sign an agreement, where my notice period is increased to 6 months and if I leave within 3 years, I have to repay the costs associated with my application. (Max 7k). Is this a standard practice?

Wow, that’s little extreme. Mind telling what company you work for?

Sorry, it’s a smaller tech consultancy, so revealing it would give too much away.

This practice always strikes me as exploitative. I understand the desire to reduce companies making big investments in people for them to turn around and just leave.

My issue is that the relationship is so one sided. The employee is in no position to negotiate the agreement and once it’s signed you are bound to the company even if they drag their feet on processing your application.

Agree

Yep. Usually 2 months and 2 years though, not 6 months and 3 years.

Not at EY ( in my personal experience). But I’ve seen some firms place restrictions , as they see it as an investment. But 6 months and 3 years is extreme

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)
