<prompt> Human: Ive recently interviewed with a new place for much higher pay, for the same work I do now. I think it went really well and I might be offered the job. However, the oldcurrent employer helped me with immigration process to get my visa. They also had me sign an agreement saying that if I left within 2 years of getting visa, Id have to repay in full and its only been 6 months.so, PF, my question is... can I ask the new employer to pay the debts I owe and what might the best way to ask?Please let me know if thus isnt the right place for such questions..  <response>: Show them the agreement you have with your current employer and explain that in order for you to take this job you need help with it. Anything they pay to your employer on your behalf is taxable income to you.
