Breaching a contract

Hi,

I came in NJ on Feb and joined an employer A since employer A

Had my H1B visa. The day i landed in NJ they had give me one

Contract to sign on it. I signed because i thought, i will be

Working with them for long. But from feb to april i was

Sitting idle in employer's guest house with no client and no job.

Meanwhile i started to market myself and went for an interview to

Empoyer B for permanent position. Fortunately i got cracked the

Interview and got temporary offer letter. They offered temp because

They needed background check.

During background check, my employer A got to know that i am about

To joing employer B and send me to a client to Austin, TX. I have

Worked there one month and meanwhile my background check and visa

Transfer were being processed. Once i got confirmation for visa

Transfer, i had given two week notice to my employer A and came to

Employer B. When my employer got this resignation letter, they

Started to have negotiation with and pushed me to pay 12000 USD as

Compensation regarding what they had spent on me. However, as i know

They have spend only for visa filing and nothing else.

Now, after 3 months later, they have filed a suit againt me. Please

Suggest me what should i do.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Regards,

Amjad
