Green Card processing through employer I am not working with

GC processing

Hi,
I have applied for labour through an employer, with whom i dont work at present. I dont have intensions of working for him. I am just getting my green card process done through him.
In this case at what stage should i work for him, to satisfy the rules for green card process.

thanks,
Deej

I-140 and I-485 can be filed by future employer. Also if approved in the end you are to work for the future employer for at least 6-12 months

The idea of an employment-based sponsorship GC is that the company sponsoring you does it so it can hire you when you get your GC. On these premises, it is hard to get the GC and then move on with no intent from the employee and/ or the employer for work to actually take place as outlined in the application all along.

It is likely people do this nonetheless but in fact if one intends to go for citizenship right when it is possible to do so (after holding the GC for 5 years I believe) then not having worked or having worked very little time for the sponsor firm, will handicap the citizenship application greatly.
