changing employer after 4 months of GC
I got my GC approved on May 11th. I am still working for my employer who suppoted it on AC21. My wife's case is till not yet approved and pending approval due to VISA number availiability. I am getting a very good contract opportunity on 1099 and would boost my salary by almost 60%.
Is this advisable to switch at this point? Can USCIS come back to me asking for my employment verification when my wife's case is being adjudicated? She already had her I-485 interview done at local office back in Feb 2006 with me. Thanks

I didn't get your point. Can you please be more specific and clarify my doubt so I can make a decision.

IL_LABOR:
I mentioned about the inter-gallactic war because, the question that you've asked has been asked by other members in the past and the issue has been beaten to death by many members and atleast in one case a few members have been suspended from the form.. That's why I said that.. There are NO specifics on the time you should be sticking to your GC sponsor after getting the immigration approval. The lawyers interpret that six months is a good time to stick with the sponsor before looking for other opportunities as the GC is filed based on "future full time employment" with the sponsor and leaving the company within a short span of time - after getting the approval - lets USCIS believe that you didn't apply for GC in good faith. This MAY, I repeat MAY affect in your citizenship application in the future if you don't stick with your sponsor for a long time. Having said that, some argue that six months to one year is a good time to stick with the sponsor. Others don't give a sh*t and they move on. It all depends on the risk the person wants to take. And there is NO thumb rule as to the time span, according to USCIS IMHO. But, I do know a case where one of my ex-colleagues got his GC from his employer (my previous employer that is) and within few months we all got laid off and he was also let go. He found a job in MSFT and worked there happily for five years and left MSFT to do his own business. In the mean time, he applied for his citizenship and he DID get it. He didn't have problem with leaving the company within few months after getting his GC. I checked with him on that and he said that he didn't face that as an issue during his citizenship process. As a precaution, he took a letter from our previous employer about the lay off and press releases (that comp was a publicly traded company) in case he was asked by USCIS. And he wasn't. So, here you go. It all depends on your future plans. You will have many members providing you their two cents on your question. Talk to a good immigration lawer so you don't leave no stones unturned. Good luck howdy_howdy // I am not a lawyer and not planning to be one. Consulting a competent attorney is advised.

ITs very wrong to change jobs before 1 year!!
HI
YOU WILL GET DEPORTED IF YOU CHANGE JOB BEFORE 1 YEAR WHEN YOU APPLIED FOR GC YOU PROMISED TO STICK WITH THE COMPANY INDEFINETLY ....AND IN MY BOOK THAT IS ATLEAST 1 YEAR...SO I ASSURE U , U WILLGET DEPORTED...... LAWYERS DONT KNOW SHIT WHEN THEY TELL YOU U CAN LEAVE UR SPONSOR BEFORE 1 YEAR.. ( believe what i say) I CANT SHOW U A SINGLE EXAMPLE - BECAUSE ALL THOSE WHO GOT DEPORTED WERE SO SAD THEY DID NOT WRITE IN THIS FORUM- AND THEIR FRIENDS TOO ARE SO SAD THAT THEY NEVER REPORTED.. wow................those **** days.... (not sure if i miss them)- but i did read this site more often to see who was getting a share of his ego.... hey **** im sure you are reading this - even though you dont post with **** id (or any id - its hard NOT to notice you and ur friends)
