Hi abby_28,
It is usually the visa date which a employer counts so technically since your visa is getting expired in October 2015, you last working date counted will also be in October 2015, if i am not wrong, so if you quit before that then employer can charge you for the expenses he has incurred. But i dont have accurate information about this case, i am sure if anyone else has faced this scenario or knows more they will reply back
good luck

There are no amounts you need to pay for the remaining for the visa expiry to your employer. LMRA is clear about that. In the event your employer forces you to pay the said incurred fees then you can simply go to labors office. simple as that
