Changing employer after 3 years


Recommended Posts

I've got my Employment-Based Green Card in 2018 and have been working for my sponsor employer for 3 years. I would like to leave my current job just looking for a better career opportunity.  
Are there any risks of rescinding my Green card or not getting Citizenship in 2 years?
Can my employer make any complaints about it to USCIS or whatever (I'm sure if he can, he will) as he expects me to work for him for at least 5 years

Is the 5 year expectation written and mutually signed as part of your employment contract? If yes, he may at best try so litigation and cost recovery and try to create trouble for you. However nothing you do including leaving his employment can impact your GC in hand! If he tries bad-mouthing you, you have options to send "cease & desist" notices as well a "libel and/or defamation" notice and lawsuit options on your side - do your online research. Your GC is safe and protected and yours to keep as long as YOU choose, within the legal parameters defined by USCIS

No, there wasn't a certain period of time specified in my contract. Thank you for your help!
