Does primary applicant always has to work upon GC approval?

[relief_atlast]

Here is the CASE.

My friends wife is the primary applicant and my friend is beneficiary.
Their GC was recently approved and my friends wife wants to take a
indefinite break from job to take care of kids since my friend is working.
Since their GC is employment based does the primary applicant always has to work?

There is absolutely no problem from sponsporing employer for her to leave the job.

Don\'t Worry! This is My Advise as Friend!

Hi Relief_Atlast:
I personnaly don\'t think that it is a problem. She had legitimate reason why she wants to take indefinite time-off - in this case, family reason. I don\'t think that any law in any country would say that you have to work to the sponsoring company without caring your family first.

JoeF, I don\'t know where you get this, but it seems very discouraging to people some of your posts. I am not trying to criticize you but it\'s hard to believe some of your postings. Especially, the economy is so down and people are being laid off, how come INS can expect to sustain in a job forever. Even INS officers being laid off because of burecracy there, but it is irrelevant about the subject anyway. But, I am just pointing out as a citizen, no one can guarantee a job so where is the point. Please don\'t mistake me about my comments.

My lawyer said exactly what JoeF said

Unfortunately, this remains to be mystery to all the GC holders, as when is the right time to switch the Job.
Now a days it takes 8/9 months after filin 485 to get approval, you may have already completed 5/6 years working for that company.

Even presidents can get tired doing the same job again and again.
May be EB category immigrants have to press this point for the next reforms/amendments.
AC21 should be applied here too.

If INS is approving the GC in 1 day/month, it is a different story but it takes 4/5/6 years to get GC.
If employee did not intend to work for employer , he/she can not get the Gc in the first place.
Therefore INS should count the time from the first day of employment with sponsoring company.

This is not funny at all in the current economy.
In this case, motherhood is definitely a valid reason for taking break, who knows what law says though.

JoeF\'s technical point is 100% valid though.
