What is Green Card

[redearth]

Hi All,
I have a very simple question. What does Green Card Application Means?
Or when a person can say that He has applied for the GC Application/processing.

I was trying to find the defination but could not get it.

Is the Green Card Application the Agjustment of Status I485??
OR when the Co. applies for the Labour??

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
redearth.

Wow!!

Here's somebody with a good question and i think i can share my thoughts for this question, well the Green card is something you get once you have cleared the I485 process,also it allows one to stay here in the US permanently and also be like a normal US citizen, it also gives the benefits like Unemployment pay..blah..blah

Also one does not consider getting a green card if he has cleared the labor process, infact clearing the labor is essentially needed if you are trying to get the green card thru employment

I hope this helps

Thanks..,

Well, I asked this question because, I signed an agrrement with my employer to apply for my GC processing. Now I am leaving them as they did not do anything.
But the agreement says"

Mutual Understanding to Process Green Card or Permanent Residency Application

The underlying intent of this document is to come up with a resonable understanding before the application for the Green Card or Permanent Residency between the employee and the company. However this document does not gurantee amployment for any length of period. C. in its relentless pursuit to provide excellent benefits to employees, agrees to process the GC application through the designated or corporate immigration attorney. Comapany does not guarantee the outcome for the application process.
Co. agrees to bear the total cost involved in the GC application process with the following limitaions or conditins. An employee must be willing to sign this documentbefore the HR dept can set the process in motion.

1. Employee must be willing to stay wiht the comany during and while the application is in process. SInce C. Commits considerable amount of guaranteed upfront money to attorney, employee agrees to bear the cost by willing to repay, if the decides to part with the co. before the completion of GC process.
2. If employee decides to part with the co. within one year after the process befgins employee agrees to pay back $3500 to the Co.

Please advice the validity of the adove.

I will highly appritiate it.

Thanks
