May sound like a dumb question..:D :D I'm planning to go back to college after I get my GC. Can I study on a GC OR will I have to surrender my GC for a student visa?

Thanks!
 
I think you still need to be around your job for like 6 months (This is the safe period everybody suggests to ensure USCIS that your GC was meant for a future job indeed). After that you might as well opt for another Job, be a student or maybe just hop around :) :)

I donot think there is this 6 month issue, with the AC21.
Y' know why ? Your GC is sponsored by company X all through labour, 140 and more than 6 months on 485.
If you can change job (to a company Y) in your 485 just a month before you get your Green Card, why do you have to be loyal to the company Y after your Green Card, whose whole process until you get your GC is probably a month or a day.
I would agree that this 6month thing was true before AC21. not now. It just defies all logic.
 
The whole point of getting GC is to not worry about visa....

dude you are asking really funny question...why dont you apply for H1 after you get GC...hehehehe

Hey! at least I admitted it was a dumb question and was not beating around the bush saying "My friend has applied for GC and wants to study after getting his GC................................" :D :D

Just wanted to clarify. cause I read a thread couple of months ago wherein someone had to surrender their GC for an F1 visa.
 
Re: Re: Re: College after GC

well I just thought your question was funny. no offence...

It is like asking can i give this winning lottery ticket and get few dollars pls....:D :D

Anyways I would congratulate that person who surrendered his GC for an F1 visa. There are very few people on this earth who are that insane :D :D :D...

*sigh* we had a huge thread on this a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately there was no satisfactory conclusion. Just a matter of being safe or sorry, and how much you like to take risks or assumed risks. Don't want to spoil this thread by digressing from fpfinally's main question. But the above is a matter of personal choice between you, your lawyer and INS.
