USCIS Link discussed:

Content of the link:
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was pending,

Great information. A lot of myth around 180days rule after GC are on the net and all are opinions. I spent many days searching the internet to find where this 180 days and more were set in stone. I am not sure who spread this myth but a lot of people are/were exploited because of this myth. Thank you for sharing this video.

My father was employed by Company A and stayed with them for one year after receiving his green card. However, they did not treat my father well financially and caused him a lot of mental stress. As a result, he decided to leave his position and join Company B. Company A is currently threatening to revoke my father's green card since he relocated to Company B. After watching your video, I felt more confident and encouraged my father not to worry! Thank you so much for your clarification!!

I have heard that one HAS to join the company or take up that job for which the GC was issued... it may not be a requirement for USCIS to be in the job for 180 days... but may be a requirement of the job offer... pls clarify...

I am switching from employer A to Employer B. Employer A: H1 , H4 approved until 2025. H4 EAD pending. (Eligible for auto extension) Employer B: transfer not started yet. Do we need to file for h4 EAD again if I do my h1 transfer from A to B? If her h4 EAD is approved prior to my h1 transfer, do I still need apply for h4 & h4 ead? Can we use current H4 EAD until new h4 ead is approved?

@Reddy&Neumann You're amazing. Please respond to my question. I have a green card and my sponsor put me on 1099 except of W2. I have been working with them full-time since my green card was approved as 1099. Before the green card I did not work because I was on F1. So basically as 1099 i am considered self employed but it's exactly the same work duties and salary. Is there an issue with this?

Question 10 does not deal with employment after GC but with change during pending 1-485. It does say that the petition is for future employment with the petitioner, hence the issue of leaving the petitioner right after GC remains? Not sure this Question addresses the issue at heart.

Thank you so much for clarifying all my concerns. I actually got my green card approval for EB3 on August 2021. And I started working for my sponsor employer since September 2021 to present. Due to my health condition caused from the job functions. I am not even allowed to work for this particular heavy duty that being said by my primary care doctor. There was one time happened to me that my toxic employer threatened me to revoke my green card if I decided to leave the job. I was extremely terrified and just simply kept working for them until now. After watching your video, it absolutely clears off my head and I feel so much better and safe now. I do have my intention working for my employer but I guess it’s time for me to move on for my better physical health and my mental health. Also, I have just recently got a better job offer :-)

@TheSujuLoverAll15 2 жыл бұрын

I understand that it's quite common for employers to also have employees sponsored on a green card to commit to working for X amount of time after they receive their green card (and will draft a separate contract for that). What's the typical duration of time employers may require you to work for them once you get your green card? Is there a way to make sure employers don't try to take advantage of this and keep you essentially "chained" to the company?

Thank you so much. Also, just to clarify, if a green card holder wants to quit their job and take a break from work, is that okay? We have been working with this IT employer for about 16 years and got our Green Card almost 6 months ago. Me and my wife want to take a break and upskill ourselves by enrolling for some courses and then look for jobs, me with IT and my wife outside IT. Is this okay for us to pursue. Can you please advise

What you don’t seem to realize is they they charge money out of our salary for a decade just because they are sponsoring our visa’s. Unless it is a big name employer in the fortune 500 list, the employers charge us for the visas until we get out GC’s . They are not non profit organizations.
