Dear sir,

I am an international student with 12+ years of experience in cybersecurity. I got a job to work in an IT company and signed a contract saying that if I leave the job then I have to pay all the visa expenses raised for the TSS482 visa.

I am leaving this job because my visa still not yet approved for the last 8 months and the company is not providing me any update like visa raised confirmation letter and also my hourly rate is 34$( 80 hours of work per month on student visa, i.e, around 2700$ per month takehome salary) for 12+ years of experience in cyber security which I feel extremely low.

Do I have to pay visa expenses if I signed the contract and quit the job? does the govt support me?
