religious work based GC

[rel_guy]

Hi!

I have a question, maybe some can answer it having some knowledge of this subject.

I am in the US on a religious work based green card. Recently, I quit my job/ministry with the sponsoring organization. Is this true that I have to actually keep working in a religious capacity for the rest of my stay in the US as a permanent resident since I got my card on a religious basis?

I read on some immigration site that I will HAVE TO work ONLY in a religious capacity. Is this true and accurate? Does anyone know? Or is it a bunch of crazy talk?

You will have to work in a religious capacity for a while at least.
This is similar to the employment-based GCs in that you have to have the intent to work for the sponsoring organization when you get the GC.
Note that this topic results in a lot of flamewars here, because some people don't like this to be mentioned, and post insults in any such thread.

Ok, but I would actually want to find out more. I read, that I will have to work in that capacity the whole time (up until I apply for citizenship). The lawyer on the website (can't find it now) said that because I came to work as a religious worker that's what I have to do. Period.

So, do you think if I work long enough for the sponsoring org. I can do other non-religious related jobs? I really need to know that.
