PERM I-140 filing without joining the Employer

[njverifier]

Hello,

I know that we can file PERM without joining the employer but I wanted to know if we can file I-140 without joining the employer? Can one join the employer after the I-140 is approved, just before filing for AOS?

Any experiences?

Thanks in Advance.

The employer can file the PERM and I-140 based on an offer of future sponsorship for a position that the foreign national will work in upon approval of the GC case.

So once I-140 is approved can one file AOS without joining the sponsoring employer at all? What are the implications of doing such an act?

Scenario: Employer A files for PERM & I-140 thinking that employee XYZ will join the company but once PERM and I-140 is approved XYZ will file AOS without notice of the employer A and gets his greencard there by avoiding to join employer A at all. Is this situation possible at all? If yes what will the consequences that employee XYZ would have to face in future.
