I feel that imparting technical training to every Tom, Dick and Harry who lands on U.S. soil with a H1-B is shameful professional ethics. It should be highlighted that all the 400 consultants of CPT were Indians on Non-Immigrant visas. CPT, apart from having stiff terms in their contract, knows that you cannot quit. I would advise all alien workers to keep a photocopy of their time cards for the record, especially if you work for an Indian consulting firm. Please do not surrender your passport or other original documents to your employer except, for the purpose of processing your visa.
Some Indian companies have the habit of holding the alien's papers once they step on U.S. soil.
In this way they prevent them from switching companies. Only your employment agreement holds ground. Of course it would be advisable that you consult the U.S.D.O.L or a lawyer on this issue as employment laws vary from state to state. The bond issued by an Indian body-shopper usually states that you are their property for eighteen months or so and that if you quit prior to this period you are liable to be sued for damages and training costs etc. I think we can all learn a thing or two from the case of Compubahn Vs.
