Hi Peter, thanks for answering questions!
Could you please comment about changing employer after obtaining employment-based Green Card?
It's considered to be safe to work for current employer for at least 6 months after getting GC. However there is no such legal requirement and there's the AC21 Act.
Also I've heard about 2-year period after getting GC: if applicant worked less than 2 years for sponsored employer, he/she should prove his intent to work permanently. After 2 years USCIS should prove lack of intent.
However it's still looks like a grey area.
Thanks
- proberts 9y agoIt's really not gray at all. As long as the green card was obtained in good faith, there's no obligation to continue working for the sponsoring employer for any period of time after the green card is issued.
