my question

is this agreement which was signed in india legally valid in usa courts

Hi,

Check in murthyforums.com
You can post your questions there and will get appropriate suggestions.
Also as I heard bonded labour is not allowed in US.But the employer can claim the "Liqudation damages"(airfares,initial accomdation,traning etc) depending on what is actually written in the agreement.I suggest you to contact a employment attonery in this regard.For only taking suggestion the fees are very less and if required you can take phone consultation.

Hope this helps,
Take care,
