Has anyone gone through this situation if so would you please kindly provide your experiences?
Someone may have knowledge about this scenario. Please shade light on it, it will be really helpful.

I married before I got a green card. I filed I-824 petition, which is also called "follow to join". It was approved last year and approval notice was sent to US embassy in home country. Spouse is waiting for PD to be current. Next month, my PD is going to be current which I believe.

I am starting to prepare documents for my spouse's interview. However I have few questions which may or may not be issues in her interview.

My GC is based on EB3 for future employment and I never worked for GC sponsoring company.

I need to send current employment verificatoin letter including 3 years of income tax returns which I have and also I am currenty working for non-GC sponsoring company.

My questions:

1. Will it be an issue that I did not work for GC sponsoring company?
2. Should I get a letter from GC sponsoring company stating reasons why
company did not have job for me after my GC approval?
3. Should I not worry about getting letter from GC sponsoring company at all?

More information: My attorney said that it would not be problem at all becuase these are requirements to determine whether my income is below or above the poverty limit so that I would not be in publich charge. But I am just worried and thinking what should I do or so.

Please gurus of this forum give your expert opinions.

Thanks in advance.
 
I’m in the same boat. My wife is waiting for my priority date to become current. I have my green card (EB3) for over a year now and I have changed 4 jobs since then. I don’t intent to send an employment letter. Affidavit of support should be sufficient.

The consulate CAN’T revoke you green card, but it can send a notice to the INS if potent ional fraud is suspected (Changing employer right after obtaining the green card is considered fraudulent activity)

It is just my opinion though. I could be wrong and keep in mind that different consulates have different practices (for example, the consulate in my native country doesn’t require an approved I-824.Receipt notice and a copy of the green card is sufficient evidence of permanent residence)
 
Well, PaulK,
You still need to send current employment letter and current paystubs.In addition, you need to sign an Affidavit of support that immigrant beneficiary will not be public charge when he/she comes to USA.
Consulate could initiate application based on approval I-824 receipt and notarized copy of the green card, which is sufficient evidence of permanent residence. However my question is that does consulate enter A# to verify green card? if so, will they also look at GC sponsoring company and current compay where GC holder is working?
 
Question regarding I-824

Hi,

I received my GC last year. I did not include my wife on my GC since a I-485 was applied through her employer already. I was asked not to file 2 I-485s as it may create confusion. My wife has been in this country for last 5 years.

Because of the retrogression of dates, I dont think my wife will get her GC in next 2 years. I am thinking of filing a I-485 for my wife through my application. Do I need to file I-824 for this case?

Thanks
