I work for an international corporation having separate companies in Europe and in USA. I am personally based in Europe.

Being in contact with several US based employees, I was informed that the USA company sponsors some foreign scientists for work in the US company.

As a requirement of them being sponsored is to sign a contract that would require the sponsored employees to return the amount of money the company spent for their sponsorship (probably paying the immigration attorneys) if they do not stay with the company for a year (they resign)?

Is that legal?
