Hello everyone, my colleague migrated to the US through EB3 petitioned by the hospital. She's been planning to not finish her contract (pay the breach fee) with our hospital to move to a different state where her fiance is from, and they're planning to get married soon.

 

Her concern is whether this breach of contract will affect her future citizenship application and may be cause for denial? We tried to look it up online but cant find any specific information about this type of situation.

I don't think this would impact an N400 application.  Look at the N400 form section 12, but I don't see any question related to buying out one's contract.

 

Good Luck!

Even before I-485 approval, she may change employer or job as long as her new job is in the same or similar occupational classification.

Please Google "American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act" "AC21" or "I-140 Portability"

 

Changing the jobs or employers after getting GC is completely fine. The hospital may request reimbursement of expenses (attorney fee and I-140/I-485/medical exam fees) for her GC. However, it is a matter between her and the hospital. It's not USCIS' business.

 

Her GC was granted for her professional skill (especially Schedule A workers: nurses and physical therapists). Continuing the same or similar job would be appreciated, but not be required, I think.
