Hello,

I am in a situation where I have got a GC via consular processing ( i haven't entered US yet).

I am not really keen on working for my sponsoring company in the US as a lot has changed since I left them couple of years ago. I have been working on a product and want to really try to setup a business in the US.

I was wondering if someone can tell me what my options are ?? My only worry is that at some point I might be asked why is it that I never worked for them and I am not really sure what I can say ?

Any ideas / suggestions / workarounds appreciated.
 
Can you explain how exactly you got your GC? Were you working for the sponsor in the US on H or L visa and got a GC via the CP route?

got gc via cp

I used to work for the same company in the US for 6 years then moved to London for 4-5 years and then eventually got the Greencard via Consular processing.
 
You need to work for them, or you'll risk having your green card revoked if/when USCIS finds out you didn't. Consular processing doesn't give you AC21 portability.

My only worry is that at some point I might be asked why is it that I never worked for them and I am not really sure what I can say ?

With your circumstances there isn't anything you can say to protect your green card once USCIS finds out that you didn't work for the sponsor after GC approval. Except maybe if you entered the US in good faith to work for them and the company first notified you the job is gone after you arrived in the US and before you actually worked for them. But that hasn't happened in your case.
