Never worked for sponser employer (have GC)

[deepabapat 0]

I got my green card on 05/18/01. Now I want to apply for citizenship. But I never joined my sponser employer who filed the green card for me. Once my GC got approved my employer told me that they do not have enough budget to hire me.

Now will it come uder fraud. My intetinon was to join the company. Now If I apply for citizenship then INS may revoke my green card saying that I never had the intention to join the sponser employer.

What should I do. Is there any hope?

Thanks,

Deepa

HI! It doesent look like a fraud to me,i am not sure seems it was not actually your fault.

You said that when your Green Card was approved your employer told to you that they dont have enough budget to hire you or to keep you there anymore?.... Did you work in that company for a while before you got the GC?. thats how you've got the GC?

If you used to work there before and then they said that they cant afford you anymore that wouldnt be your fault i guess and you should be fine.,but i dont know that if you should off notify INs about that issue or not.

If they request to be notified about these kind of issues and you didnt notify them you might be introuble though., but you need to read the www.uscis.gov website and see whats their rules are.

Best wishes.

Sincerely.

What employment category were you in? And when you say you got your green card, do you mean the employer filed an I-140, and then you adjusted status later without actually working for the employer? I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney on this one, as employment based benefits vary and are sometimes employer-specific.
