Buy-Out Question

[rutay]

Hi. I hope someone could help me.

I am here in the US now with temporary I-551, sponsored by an employer. I don't have my Green Card yet.

My employer and I have disagreements regarding the employment. I would be willing to pay the expenses they incurred. It is a buy-out. My employer showed interest. And I intend to work for another company. Would that be okay for the USCIS provided that I still intend to do the same work duties as described in the labor certification but with a different employer?

As far as I know if you quit your job and work for another company you have to start green card application all over again. The whole process of getting your labor certification will probably start all over again as you will be working for a new company. Your attorney will have to advertise the new job in the new company. Usually, employers who hire you and applied for green card for you knows that they have the upper hand. You are at their mercy. In some cases I know, the rogue employer did not give raise to the employee. It's their call like it or not!
