Hello,
In addition to the query by Ashutosh Thakre, pl also mention these inputs.
1] Is your company in IT sector? If not, which sector?
2] Did you work for ALL the 11 yrs in B'lore/India OR was the period spread-out across countries? If the later, then where is your Headqtrs?
3] Are you an Indian Citizen or an Expat?
4] Have you completed the Notice Period in accordance to the Policy?
5] Do you have any sort of NDA/NCA signed with the Company?
More the inputs, better for the members to give actionable suggestions.
Prima-facie, no Employer can refuse giving the Experience/Relieving Letters--UNLESS there are any disciplinary issues involved.

There is no provision in the Factories Act or shops &commercial establishment Act of Karnataka to give experience certificate to employees .If your firm has a certified standing order which provides for exp:certificate then you are entitled for it .In other cases it is the discretion of the employer.

I worked for11 yrs in India came to US on H1 B visa.There was a agreement signed stating that i should work for 1 year. If i am changing in between i should compensate with Visa processing and relocation charges .
After coming here i found many opportunities and wanted a change after 6 months. i am ready to pay the charges and move on, but employer states its not the ethics and i am misusing it. He is refusing to give any papers though i worked for 11 yrs in India. If i go back to India in future any comp will ask for experience letter.
1.It is a IT comp. I worked in India for all 11 years.. In between i used to visit US on business visa for short terms.
2.It is a Bangalore based comp and only one office is there in Bangalore. I am a Indian citizen.
3. There was a agreement signed before relocating to US that i should stick to the company for 1 year, But i am ready to pay all the charges mentioned in the contract and changing after 6 months.
4. There was a contract between my employer and client company for 6 months this was a short project which is getting end in couple of days, my employer has to search a new project for me and till i am on bench he needs to pay me.I did not wanted all these complications and found a decent job here.
5.I am ready to pay 1 month of notice period.

Hello,
IF what you mentioned is true, my sincere suggestion is DON'T move before the completion of the 1 year period.
Having handled many H-1B cases earlier I know for sure that US Laws are far more stricter & faster & take notice of such transgressions much more seriously--which I think you too would be aware of. And US Companies as well as employees [consultants in your parlance] are known to go legal @ the drop of a hat.
I have seen a couple of such cases earlier [with our US partner Company] where the employee was sued for almost a similar situation he caused & finally had to pay damages of, I think, ~US$ 100 K with the added situation of the word spreading around with other employers.
As far as your line "After coming here i found many opportunities......." is concerned, this is the scenario world over [except, maybe, Europe & China], including India, in varying degrees. And this would also be the scenario EVEN AFTER you complete the 1 year period......for the simple reason that recession is surely not expected for the next few years.
Whether it's worth it to move in a hurry with the associated consequences is for YOU to figure-out.
Pros & Cons are there for every decision/option.....
All the Best,
