Hello everyone. I just got my adjustment of status about 2 months ago :D .... and it came just in time as my company seems to be on the verge of issuing furloughs for the entire staff. Instead of working 5 days, some will work only 4 days and others 3 days.

I have offers to work for other companies with better benefits and higher pay.

The problem is I got my PR card / adjustment of status via my employer who sponsored me.

So my question is :

Can I resign and leave my company who sponsored me and work for another company to better my way of life? I heard that I can only leave IF I WILL DO THE SAME LINE OF WORK as my sponsoring company but the new job offer is not the same line of work.

My employers have no problem with me resigning and understand the situation that they cannot offer their employees more than what they can at this point. I can leave with their blessings which is good.

Will this cause problems for me if I resign and work for another company especially when I file for citizenship after 4 years?

Please help :)

Thank you.

As far as I know, no matter how you obtain it - a Green Card authorizes you to live and work anywhere in US. It's common sense that you will not be stuck with the same company for life just because they sponsored you for your Green Card. Maybe some other VJ users would shed more light on this issue.

Thinking there is some kind of commitment/agreement to work for that sponsor for a certain time.

Thank you.

You are free to leave your company. This is why some companies dont help with the green card because on the H1B you are trapped with the same company and if you lose your job you have to stay in the same type of employment.

Not the case for you now.

Thank you everyone for responding ... I was getting different answers from other people and just didnt know if I could move on from here.

Congratulations to all who have received their PRC / adjustment of status approval and those who have become USCs already

Wishing speedy results for the others who are still waiting. Before you know it ... what you have been waiting for is already in the mail.
