Naturalization thru EB
- Thread starter kali_GC
- Start date
Don't want to rain on your parade, but most people contributing in this forum are already employment based permanent residents. Why would we need a separate thread for this?
Huracan:
Thanks for the response. People stop writing about employment information. I just want to know hoe are the IOs treating EB LPR case. Do they still ask for working period with sponsoring company?
thanks
Kali
There is no such thing as EB based naturalization - only military, 3yr marriage to USC and regular 5yr. Some IOs do ask about employment with the GC sponsoring company, but I've yet to see anyone denied because they didn't work for the sponsor for 'long enough' (however long that may be). Mostly AC21 took care of any of those issues.
Interview passed but told that USCIS will send written decision about the application.
I had my interview yesterday at SFO and I passed the test. But I was told by the officer that I Had passed the Civic and English test and USCIS will send me a written decision about my application.
The situation was I got laid off from the Job a week after I got the GC through the sponsoring employer and in the same month I joined another company. Interviewed officer asked me why did I change the employer very soon and I told him I got laid off and joined the other company. Then the interview officer told me he needs to verify the facts and review it with his supervisor.
Any one who had this situation please let me know and how long will it take to receive the written decision.

Hi Kali_Gc,
You mean only one day is enough to work for the GC sponsoring employer after getting the GC ?
Thanks
Hi lvr123
Yes. The only concern will be froud. If you had been working with them for a ye or so, then 1 day is enough. I am not sure. I saw different views in this forum. No body knows coze I don't see any body with kind of problem. May be some who I don't know. I tried to tract them but not sure how. I also left after 4 month of approval GC after consulting too many lawyers.
Thanks Kali_GC. I have contacted my Lawer who processed my GC and he told me that there is nothing to worry about Becuase I have worked 5 and half years whoever sponsored my GC and I got laid off after got the GC. So it is not a issue. Becuase of the AC 21 laws he shouldn't even asked about the emplyment history if I was in the 485 more than 180 days.
The lawyer said Worst case get the letter from the employer whoever sponsored my GC and give it to the USCIS. But they won't do that. They will approve the application.

lvr123,
AC-21 only applies before you get the GC.
After u get the GC, forget abt AC-21 applicability. It does not apply.

Strictly speaking that is true. But it is not entirely irrelevant, because the passing of AC21 into law shows that Congress did not intend for people to be locked into a single employer for great lengths of time and they explicitly established that it is OK to change one's intent after 180 days. If naturalization is denied for leaving quickly after the GC is obtained, even though you stayed with the sponsor for a long time after filing the I-485, the lawyer appealing the case will almost certainly point AC21 and mention that you stayed over 180 days with the sponsor. Of course, we don't know how the courts will see it, but I don't think AC21 is entirely irrelevant.lvr123,

How about if one has approval less than 5 month and worked for 4 month after approval? Is that will be OK? I had worked with them for 1.5 yrs total.
(4 month after approval and rest for the process)

5 months while the I-485 was pending, plus 4 months after it was approved? Seems OK, but not as solid as somebody who spent (for example) 1 year while pending plus 6 months after approval. Unfortunately, we don't know what some anal IO having a bad day will decide, or what the judge will do if it is appealed, until there is an actual precedent in the courts.How about if one has approval less than 5 month and worked for 4 month after approval?
