Job switch after getting Green Card!?
Question:
My question is: Can a person switch the job once (s)he gets his Immigration Stamp? If not then what is the period of time for changing the job after immigration stamp. Note that he is currently on H1B and waiting for Immigration Interview.
Answer:
The official rule (which IMHO has not changed with the passage of AC21) is that you must not have any preconceived intention to leave the job when you get your Green Card. (Your friend clearly does :-( ) In general, working for the company for one year after getting the GC is normally considered sufficient.
If he can't stand the thought of a whole other year at the company, then he should withdraw his consular processing and switch to adjustment of status within the US. 180 days after his AOS is filed, he can take advantage of AC21 and switch jobs, providing he remains in the same field. Of course, the downside is that it'll be an extra year or more before he actually gets his GC.
I doubt such a "rule" would be enforceable after AC21 for people getting greencard thru the lengthy I-485 process. It makes no sense that someone in the I-485 for more than 180 can change job while still getting the greencard, while someone with the greencard can't change jobs after waiting for so long on the I-485. A federal judge would certainly dismiss such case.
I wouldn't speak so soon. We already have an analogous situation with marriage: if you divorce three years and six months into a marriage, do you get to keep your Green Card? Not if the processing took between 18 months and two years. If it was more than two years, you are home and dry because you got a full GC; but if you get your GC even one day before your second wedding anniversary, it's conditional on you staying married for another full two years (with a few exceptions for domestic violence etc.)
So although I agree the situation is iniquitous, we already have a close analogue enshrined and clear in law. Could it survive a challenge under the 14th Amendment? Maybe not, but nobody (to my knowledge) has ever tried.

Have you already emailed the addresses you mentioned in your post? I mailed some newspaper reporters in PA this afternoon. Quoted the AILA.
I emailed most of the email ids on the list. Except for some entertainment show emails which are included in the list. I'm looking forward to NBC, because MSNBC ran some message boards for EB immigrants during the immigration bill debacle.:cool:

Some key points I heard -
Looks like US Chamber of Commerce supports tougher security and more immigration
The spokesman thinks that immigration bill passing this year is a longshot but a lot has been built for it to pass in 2007.
Kinda support Hutchison Pence but they are not comfy letting people leave and then come back. They think people will be stranded (workability issue)
Believe that Prez Bush is doing all he can but House reps are doing all they can just to ensure they win elections.

He doesn't have much credibility even in republicans. he talks filth and spews venom. It is better to be safe than sorry with these talk show hosts.
i do agree with gcsucks that he is pro indian, i have heard him defend migration from india when a caller called him to complain about the H1B program. but he sure is moody, cause if we catch him on the wrong day then the responce can be unpredictable.
once he did a show on why indian kids end up winning spelling bee, and it was an interesting analysis of our culture and our dedication towards education. but his primary concern was that someday it will sure happen that indians will start dominating the american lifestyle and policy.

Thank you very much for valuable answer. I appreciate LazyCIS, pmb76 and sam. Then I will wait till 180 days to go.
Just to clarify, Do I need to look / take jobs only permanent after 180 days?
Thank you,

Maintaining the I-9 document at the employer's location is required by law. Even if you have not signed anything except the offer letter, the employer cannot just deny having you work for his client and wash his hands off you.
You can definitely complain to DOL about wages. You did work for a client for 4 months right? They is no way he can disprove it as if it never happend.
Do not delete any of the emails. Note down the emails and phone numbers of your colleagues from the client site so that they can confirm that you worked there. Call DOL and report this employer.
Hello Everyone,
Hi I am a student in United States and I was on Optional Practical Training from Jan 2008 to Dec 2008. As I finished my OPT in Dec 2008 I joined again in New course for M.S in soft. Eng.
In the month of November I got a job in California through an employer, who is based in New Jersey. As I got a job the employer asked me to sign a contract which states that I will be paid 60,000 per year and I shouldn't work with his clients for 1 year after the agreement is terminated.
As the project was only for 40 days I finished it successfully and I my employer couldnt find me another job till now. So I decided to work on my own when I got an opportunity with the previously worked vendor, when my employer came to know about this he has threatened me to sue me. Then I retrieved from the opportunity but now even my employer doesnt pay me anything. It is been 4 months, he hasn't paid me anything , even he hasnt provided me any insurance.
I asked my employer couple of times to terminate my agreement otherwise I would go to Department of Labor and claim my wages but he downplays that by saying I am not on H1B so I will not be paid unless I am working with Client. But the agreement didn't say anything like that.
I have even asked him to run the payroll where I worked .I.e in California but he ran it in New Jersey. When I pointed this to him he said the payroll will be run at the residing state if the employee works more than 6 months.
We had an argument about this but he never replies to my emails he only calls me and says whatever he wants to say but when I ask him to put whatever he has said to me on phone in an email he doesnt reply at all.
And to mention, he doesnt have any documents of mine. I even didnt fill any I9 form, what ever he has is the only agreement that I signed and social security number that I emailed him to run my pay roll.
After the argument I even requested him to send my original agreement signed by two parties. I only had the agreement signed by me, he even didnt send me the agreement with his sign on it even after repeated requests.
Now he doesnt even care to answer my calls or emails. I am really tensed. I am getting opportunities from vendor that I worked with but I am afraid he would sue me. Please help me What to do. I am really really frustrated, tensed and I can't express how I feel right now.
I want to get out of the contract and work with the vendor if Possible.
Please explain me how can I tackle this problem?
I would be really very very thankful to you.
Thanks,
Uday

From what I know TN visa is not dual intent like H1B.
This is correct.
So you can't continue processing your GC when holding a TN visa.
This is NOT correct.

[From the link]
The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition may not be, in and of itself, a reason to deny an application for admission, readmission, or extension of stay if the alien�s intent is to remain in the United States temporarily.

I got 30 more days for the 240 day calendar rule :mad:
FYI: I got my I-140 approved on 07/06/2007 after 7 months of wait. This just makes me think that while approving I-140 they didnt even looked at my H1B. The processing of these applications are completely separate. Since my I-140 got approved recently, my employer might not have lot of issues with IRS or INS. ??????????? what do you guys think.

I don't know much about Canada PR, but the 2nd option sounds good to me. Make sure your new employer is willing to give you a Joining Letter with the similar job responsibilities, job title, etc upon which your 485 is based.
Good Luck.
Dude - think practically. If the billing rate that the company is going to get from the client is $70/hr and they keep only $5/hr then they have to give him $65/hr. If they have to keep him on the payroll, they will have to pay 7.45% in payroll tax, which is employer's portion of Social Security Tax and Medicare (reducing their rate from $70 to $65.1575). This means they will be making 15.75 cents/ hr (translates to $315 for a year assuming that you work for 2000 hrs - the remaining 80 hrs go in holidays - for which they may or may not pay). Even if they are outsourcing payroll, do you think that it will cost them less than $315 a year to pay him? even if it costs $0 - who would be willing to keep you on their payroll to make only $315 a year? Would you? and if you take unemployment insurance and liability insurance into account, the company would make a loss. If you owned a company would you follow this business model? If you are - you might as well just give your money for free to all your employees.
The only way you can get a company to keep $5/ hr and give you the rest is if you agree to a 1099 (and you cannot do that on a H1B - you need to use EAD for that). On a 1099 - there are other tax implications - now you have to pay both your share and the employer share of payroll tax (14.9%). And now since you are an independent consultant (which is what a 1099 is), you have to get your own Liability Insurance. To prevent people from suing you, you will need to form a LLC or some other type of corporation. You might want to get a good CPA to setup your company so that you can setup the right kind of company to benefit from the right tax deductions.
There is nothing wrong in making more money - just like you want more money, the corporations are out there to make money too. No one is in the business for charity. As long as the relationship between employee and employer is symbiotic, all is good. Once the equation changes, it is either time for the employee to say good bye to the employer or for the employer to off-load the employee from the corporate bus.
I have seen many posts in this forum complaining of "blood-sucking" employers and how they exploit employees. To me, that is the same as:
- programmer's guild complaining about us stealing their jobs or
- people losing their home and blaming the banks "for not disclosing terms"
- anyone who is blaming anyone else for their troubles
If you are being exploited, it is because you are willing to be exploited. Don't blame the employer. Blame yourself. If you don't want to pack your bags and go home when you lose a job and cannot get another one, don't blame the employer and tell others that they are "sucking your blood". Everyone is here to make money.
Good Luck.
