Hi all,

I am wondering if anybody used AC21 when he/she applied for the green card, and is now in the process of getting a citizenship (or has gotten one).

Anyone ran into any trouble with USCIS accused of misrepresentation of intent to work for the sponsoring employer as a permanent employee? To me, AC21 and "intent to work for the sponsoring employer on a permanent basis" seem to be at odds with each other.

I ask this because I am thinking of using AC21 to switch job, but want to make sure what (if any) circumstances under which AC21 was invoked can violate this idealistic notion of perm "intent".

Thanks....
 
No rejects I have heard of.

But this is open to interpretation. Lawyers love this piece of law since it makes the clients seek out a lawyer & give hi/ her work....
 
I don't remember of any trouble so far, but you're talking about 5 years down the road, you just need a Tancredo or some other person to come up with accusing AC21 to be used fraudulently to suddenly have a lot more scrutiny from USCIS ;) So, let's say the weather is sunny now, but there could be clouds and thunderstorm in the future, nobody has a crystal ball. I would say if your case complies with the spirit of the law you shouldn't have any issues now or in the future. However, if you have a case where you are benched and then use AC21 to "escape" from your employer that could be seen with bad eyes in the future. This is all hypothetical speak, just pure speculation.
