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.
I LOVED YOUR ANSWERS, AND THE WAY THAT YOU GUYS DELIVERED THE MESSAGE! You guys are Rockstar! "You can leave tomorrow if you get the Green Card Today!", "6 months (180 days) is totally Myth"! I am now your fan of this video because you spread the right words, good message, very precisely, and according to law. Thanks for this amazing 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!!
You are the Best!! 🙏👍 Thank you for clear and straightforward answers. All other lawyers are confusing everyone! You helped me in making my decision. Thank you so much 👍🙏
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 :-)
@@uroy8665 you’re absolutely right. I have been hesitating for so long leaving my sponsor employer because every time I think about it always reminds me of the moment being threatned. I am not afraid of it anymore. I realize it is okay to change jobs after receiving green card
Is there anything called “good faith” with uscis? My lawyer told me if I don’t work the full one year in Eb3 unskilled, it doesn’t show good faith towards the program.
The concern is that when it comes time to apply for citizenship they could presume the process was fraudulent because you said you’ll work in X and you left asap.
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.
@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?
Can I become a self-employed while waiting for I-485 being approved? And what would be criteria for that self-employment? What evidence will USCIS need?
After I have a green card in a sponsored program and there a contract signed which is binding to say I must first work for e.g 2yrs for the company that sponsored me before I quit coz I have to pay back some of the money during this period, can still quit regardless of the binding contract.
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?
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...
Can I wait for GC before starting work? I have i140 and EAD. My agency is threatening me that they will withdraw application. I don't want to start due to retrograssion and financial reason. It's been over 180 days since i485 is pending
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?
If I am the primary applicant and my employment based greencard is approved but my wife’s green card is still pending. Can I switch jobs? Since her greencard is tied to my greencard status and not my employer
My Greencard was approved 4mos ago, I worked with my employer who sponsored my green card for the pass 4mos also, now there is better opportunity offered to me. I wanted to resigned from my employer, my employer is threatening they will file legal case for me coz they are the one giving me my green card. Please advise me on what to do.
I got the green card before starting work for the sponsor company, when can I leave the sponsor company without negatively impact on naturalization? Thank you!
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
This employer is giving you such a great opportunity. They trust you, so do not disrespect the sponsors, even if there are no consequences for quitting. In gratitude, work for them for a while. Don't be an ass!
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.
What are you talking about? Your interview is based on whether or not you will do the job you are sponsored for. If the officer suspects you will not do the job, they will likely deny the green card.
I have shared this video with all my friends. Employers are taking advantage of this 180 days misconception. Thanks a lot for clarifying it!
First honest feedback clearing all the myths

Hello just checking in with you? When they tried to revoke your dad’s green card what was the result? Have they company stopped disturbing your dad?
Thanks for clarifying this matter as there has been a misconception of 180 days. This really helped.
Today I got my green card in hand and next Monday I am starting my new job. Resigned before I got my green card. Thanks for assurance.

It's not good to work for toxic employee, you will regret in future. Change immediately, if you think so.

@@daroay thank you so much. Last Sunday was my last day working for the sponsor employer :). Feels very good and right though!
@@NhanTran-zz1yh did you have any issue after leaving the job ?
Really appreciated, you touched the most valuable questions and answered.
Such a good discussion and clear answers!
Thank you for the details and clarification. Very informative!
That’s a wonderful session 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍 thanks
If you leave the employer who helped you get it, that would be disloyalty.
Thanks, Great info!

nope this is misconception , never happened no evidence not in the law as mentioned in the video too
No one from USCIS has time to go into the detail before 5 top 6 years and see how you quit

Agreed. That particular point was not clearly explained.
Very useful information sir.
Nice explanation.
NO MORE SHACKLES
Most lawyers will say things to scare employers & make money.
I worked for my employer more than 10 years and they still asking me to pay for the green card expenses. What are my rights here.
Thank you guys you are serious myth busters
i wish i saw your video earlier, i have wasted so much time on my cases

Thanks! A bit confused still. So, if I apply for a job that will give me an EB -3 green card, I can quit that job any time I want?

I heard contracts linking to green card is illegal.
@@ZmenitBussler And where did you hear this? What's the source of this information?
I want to know too. My employer made me pay 10grand. I want to fight it.
Pretty sure that is illegal!

Sir please do a video family based gc ead while on h1b
What if i’ve been work for sponser company 2 years but i 485 still pending, can i quit job as unemplyed until i 485 approved?
Hello, Could you advise whether I can work for a company as an employee If I get EB2 NIW visa where my endeavour is based on a consultancy business?
What if the employer has you sign a contract that states you have to stay for a year after approval
I had a same question!!!
I dont think they can have such contracts. Or even ask for money back or anything.
If I am the primary applicant and my employment based greencard is approved but my wife’s green card is still pending. Can I switch jobs? Since her greencard is tied to my greencard status and not my employer
Do I need to pay the job A they ask 24k
So after the contract with my emplyer ends, I can stay in the US and apply for US Citizenship after 5 years?
How long after we can get green card after receiving work permit skilled visa
what if I received a typographical error green card. Can I still leave the employer?
I have ew3 it's the same? I am UNskiled worker

like a month before my embassy interview?..
Would it affect my interview or green card application?
