Future Employment GC Interview
- Thread starter Hello_Guy
- Start date
Hello_Guy said:Has anyone attended Future employment GC Interview in Newark? If so, can you tell me what documents that they would be looking from us. What would be the probable questions that might be asked in the interview process for GC.
Thankyou
Hello Guy
At the time interview it should not be future job. That is the stage where they approve your GC . Either show AC-21 with existing job or join the original company.
Otherwise you may have some issues.

If you remember, GC is for future job offer only, but desi companies dont do GC's for future job. I dont agree with you that they dont approve if its for future employment. All you need to do is to have a job offer from future company, as long as you have intention to join, anyone should be fine.
What questions would they ask for the person during the interview during Future Employment case.

Could you please tell us where this information is coming from?
I agree with Hello_Guy. You need to have a job offer (current) and you should have a clear intent to join the sponsoring company

Until what time it is future? The minute you walk out of the intreview you are green card holder and still not working for that compnay.

So as soon as you have your GC approved you should start your employment. Not BEFORE that.

Future employment is based upon the fact that person is not in US. You are are here in US and talking to an immigration officer. He can deny the case on the spot if he feels that this is sham. He can simply think that there is no position exists.
If you are doing that i would suggest you take an attorney who can defend you.

tammy2, based upon what you've just said, you are so far out of touch with reality on this issue it's not even worth arguing with you. And please stop giving unsolicited advice on what I should or shouldn't do.

complete info.
Guys, Lets not get rough here.
I had a $200 consultation with attorney murthy. According to her, it is safest to join the G . C employer if your 140 is approved and you have EAD. That will eliminate any room for fraud interpritation.
On the other hand, my company lawyer expressed the opossite view.
However, from attorney murthy perspective, she storngly advcates joining the G.C employer before approval to be on the safe side

Chat User : Can one apply for the I-140 and I-485 without joining an employer? What are the pros and cons of it? Thanks for the great help for the community.
Attorney Murthy : By filing the I-140 and I-485 and having the GC processed from an employer, a person is attesting that s/he intends to work permanently for that employer and that the employer intends to offer a full-time, permanent position for that person. By failing to join the sponsoring employer, the U.S. Department of Labor and the USCIS may allege fraud or misrepresentation and cancel the entire GC process, even after it has been approved. The only possible exception may be AC21 portability, but even that is not clear if the parties can take advantage of that law if the parties did not intend to create an employer-employee relationship ever, as required by law.

Chat User : Hello, Attorney Murthy. My green card was applied for in a future employment category. What is the time limit during which one has to quit the present job and join the prospective employer (GC sponsor) after approval? Is 2 weeks a safe limit?
Attorney Murthy : Generally, it is safest to join the employer when the I-485 has been pending for a while, and before an RFE is expected, so that one can submit two months of pay stubs with the GC-sponsoring employer if there is an RFE or if there is an interview.
http://www.murthy.com/chatlogs/ch040405_P.html
Chat User : If GC is filed for future employment one gets an RFE for I-485 asking for a current employment letter and pay stubs, what does current employer mean here?
Attorney Murthy : It means the current employer for which the person is working. Ultimately, since the only reason the U.S. government gives the person a GC is to work with a specific employer in a field deemed to have a shortage of U.S. workers, the employer and the employee need to establish good-faith intention to fulfill their obligations under law for the employment agreement on a full-time, permanent basis. So although a person can show work with a different employer, I tell people that the future GC finally becomes the present when it is time to obtain the I-485 approval.

You expect answer that suites you. If you do not want the answer do not post it pubic forums.Mette said:tammy2, based upon what you've just said, you are so far out of touch with reality on this issue it's not even worth arguing with you.

Moreover answer was intended to original poster.

If there is an interview officer might verify intensions at that place only. If feels even little bit supecious he may not approve. What is the problem if someone show current employer's EVL ?
