After green card...options for derivative beneficiary

[genxuname]

Hello,

I recently received my employment based green card. My spouse also received the green card as a derivative beneficiary. Spouse was working on H1B before green card.

Does any one know if there is any rule / limitation regarding the employment for a derivative beneficiary? In other words, can the derivative green card beneficiary switch employers immediately OR stop working, without any issues?

Thanks much for any inputs!

Your spouse could have got the GC as a derivative even if she had not been working. So, it is safe to assume that she can work for anyone she wants to, quit or any combination thereof, legally.

Why would there be some?

The derivative beneficiary can work for any Employer in any field or not work at all.

I have similar question for the beneficiary for employment based green card.

I know the beneficiary needs to work for at least 6 months to 1 year with the sponsored employer, but after that can he/she leave the employer and start his own business or don't work at all. Are there any work restrictions on GC and whether there will be any issues during citizenship.

Please Advice.
