Liam Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 There is no risk to you should you leave. Obviously, the terms of the contract still apply in terms of notice time. He can complain to anybody and it will not matter. Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
