Are these threats?

[gidiguy]

I received my GC(stamp on my passport) more
than a month ago. My Company has been trying(so they say) to find me work
but has not been successful(you know the current economy situation).
I spoke with them recently about where both stand as per the Company\'s
obligation to find me work. I am still on their payroll(on the bench with
no pay)and they don\'t mind that. BUT, the issue is that the HR person of this Company told me that if I leave the Company(if I resign), they will
contact INS. They want me to hang around for at least 3 months.
I am not happy about the whole situation, after all, they ar enot paying
me and I want to move on. They are saying they are not obligated to do
anything.

My questions are:
1. Can they actually contact INS(when they don\'t have job for me)?
2. Can I leave them since it is not my intent(as they can not find me work to do)?
3. What is the INS legal implication on my part NOW and FUTURE?
4. IS this Company intimidation valid or can it jeopardize my Permanent
Residency?
5. What is the walk-around for this as I am trying to play it safe?
6. IS it the Company\'s fault(Company\'s intent after all I don\'t have any paystubs) if they can not fix me up with a job assignment?
7. Do I have any option(s)? Can I leave since it is not my intent(they are not paying me)

You advice and suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks.

No Title

what i understand is 3 months is not a big time, think about it.

did you go to consulate and did they ask for recent paystubs?

Good Luck.

U CAN LEAVE ANYTIME... Period. On the contrary, they should be in trouble if you take action

what if ur co. puts you in a vicious trap?

but after 3 months if you haven\'t received your gcard, what if your co. plays hardball with you by saying you to hang on for x more months. think about it....
