Basically this person came over on a employee based visa in 2000. There was a problem with current job and this person said they could not apply for any other job because they did not renew their green card.

They got a green card through their job, or just an employment based visa? If it was a green card then I don't believe that work based Green Cards can be conditional, although I may be wrong. Honestly I'm no expert on work based Green Cards, you're probably better off asking this on a forum more geared towards that.

Again it boils down to was the green card a conditional one or an un-conditional one.

Yes, but under what circumstance would an employment based Green Card holder get a conditional card? The only example I can see is an investment based Green Card.

Thanks for your answers.

If caught could they be deported? Is there any responsibility on the employer?

Again it boils down to was the green card a conditional one or an un-conditional one.

If conditional one an the conditions were not lifted then they lost Lawful Permanent Residence status, if it was an un-conditional card then they are still a Lawful Permanent resident and only needs to file for I-90 to renew it.

YuAndDan-

I'm assuming she meant CGC:

One more question. What if they never applied for their 10 year green card? Just let the conditional one expire.

OP said employment based visa then goes on about green cards. :wacko:

Which is it?

Can one even get a work based GC??? I would think it would remain a visa, not a GC.
