Future employment GC Q/A

[Hexamon]

Jim,

In light of your (truly valuable) comments, what mechanism does exactly prevent a hypothetical company A to basically turn into a GC factory? I mean, even without AC21, one could apply for work sponsored GC, get it and don't work for a sponsoring company a single day. The problem with Naturalization seem less important there. I mean, after all many people consider only GC, not Naturalization. Besides, one could simply live enough years to get Naturalized based on "time present in country".

Future employment - company not doing well

Jim - First up, I appreciate you taking the time to answer all our questions.

Jim and others - Here is a rather strange situation (atleast to me) and I don't know how to proceed. I work for company A and there is a company B who agreed to apply for my greencard from Michigan (thats where the company is situated and in existence). They applied for my labor under the future employment clause sometime Aug 2002 RIR. Yes - they were recruiting like crazy then. My labor went through and company B is ready to apply for my I-140 and I-485 together.

Here is the problem - Company B, which has my labor approved is not doing too well at present (thanks to the current IT market conditions) and I've a feeling that they may lay me off as soon as I join them. The company I work for at present (company A) is doing okay and I don't see problems to my job coming up any time in the near future (but then you can never tell !!). Company A, due to certain policies and conditions wouldn't start my green card labor for another year or maybe 2. My H1-B expires in a year. I think I'm in a fix as to what I should do. I don't want to join company B at this point since I fear they might lay me off or may even just cancel the offer for employment by the time I get my GC (I-485 applied) through them.

I would deeply appreciate any input in this regard. I'm all ears to any suggestion/advice/recommendations that you could give me.

Thanks!
