Employment
In the employment-based application,
you have to perform the services outlined in your I-140. As a result, you must start working for this
company before receiving your green card.
You must also abide by the work contract, for the services.
Traveling
You can travel after filing your
adjustment of status. But before receiving your green card, you need to file a
request for an advance parole document. Or if you are holding a "dual
intent" non-immigrant visa, such as an H-1B or L-1.
Even after becoming a legal permanent resident of the United States, you need to be careful. There are still some situations in which traveling can jeopardize your status. It is risky if the government believes you no longer intend to live permanently in the United States. It can cost you your green card.
Naturalization
Naturalization
through Employment
Naturalization becomes available
to employment-based legal permanent residents. Generally after five years after
the date on their Permanent Resident Card. You have, 90
days after becoming eligible for naturalization to file for naturalization. As
a result, you can file an application for Naturalization, 90 days before the
fifth anniversary of your Permanent Resident Card.
Naturalization
through Marriage
Naturalization is available to
marriage-based legal permanent residents. Generally after three years from the
date on their Permanent Resident Card. Marriage-based naturalization is subject
to the 90-day early filing rule. Same as employment-based naturalization.
