Green card review after 5 years (help)

[Karen2011 0]

Hi,

My husband received his green card 5 years ago on empolyment basis. Recently, he has filed for my I-130 and his N-400 and both are in the process. Few weeks ago he received an email from UCSIS saying that his employment work authorisation is at the initial review. We don't really understand what is going on?

Any advice would be beneficial

This feels like a distortion in the space-time continuum, on more than one level. Can you give your husband's and your history in a bit more detail?

Maybe someone sent the wrong template email? That's the most likely thing I can think of.

Just to clarify. The reference number is same as before and he received GC on employment basis 5 years ago. Do you think it is possible for them to review GC after 5 years. I am finding it quiete strange..

Green cards can be obtained by being sponsored by their relatives, by their employers, through investments that create US jobs, the lottery or through asylum. Employment based as well as investment types of green cards are subject to review, the former depending on the needs of this country, the latter dependent upon whether jobs were created or not.

While an employment sponsored green card holder, can change employers, new employer must also have that need for very skilled workers that are not available or in demand in this country. There were articles in the Electronic Engineering Times on this subject as to whether there was a shortage of skilled workers in this country with the likes of Microsoft or Hewett-Packard. Or was this a means for them to get cheap labor, no conclusions were drawn.

Can only speculate with your husbands USCIS applications for the N-400 or the I-130, this brought this to the attention of the USCIS. If he is in demand, shouldn't have any worries. Ironically the USCIS doesn't seem to even care about the millions of people here that overstayed their visas or came here by other means.
