Hi,
I have been working for an MNC for last 5 years. In Feb 2016, company initiated L1 VISA for me. I have been following up till now to get L1 VISA but it is taking a long time. Recently, I received a good offer from another company and I resigned from my present company. Now, my present company is asking me to refund the money spent by my company for L1 VISA processing. This is a big amount (more than Rs 1 lakh).
At no point did company inform me that I will be required to pay L1 VISA processing charges. In fact there is no policy in the company about this. Still they are insisting I should pay else they will not give relieving letter.
Please advice if my company is legally correct in enforcing this decision on me.
Regards,
YN
