I consider myself privileged my company filed Green Card paperwork on time and received my permanent residency. My deal with my manager was I would finish the project which will be delivered next month. However, with the HR and on the paper, I have signed a contract and I have to stay with the company until next year. Since I have completed my project, I would like to find opportunities at other companies. What are possible repercussions if I decide to leave the job? On the contract, it says if I leave the company early I would pay back the company the GC cost including filing fees and lawyer expenses. Is there anything I need to be aware of?
If trump is serious then you should be charged with immigration fraud. Gc presumes an intent to work for an employer permanently. Your gc should be terminated and you should be thrown out back where you came from
“Gc presumes an intent to work for an employer permanently” lmfao!!
This Russian girl says he didn’t have good face in accepting an offer and that he won’t get a passport http://www.kuzminalaw.com/immigration-articles/employment-obligation-to-employer-after-green-card-approval
If you signed a contract, then you have to work thru the entire period unless both sides agree to terminate the contract early. It's that simple.
Thanks. So basically it comes to paying back the money if I decide to quit. I was also worried if there were any issues when comes to immigration laws.
Try to get an offer first.

you just pay back the money. That being said some lawyers would recommend staying at least a couple of months before leaving if the new job description will be different than your perm. It may come up when it is time to renew the gc in 10 years, thay say.
I am with the company for 1 year now after receiving the GC.
Pay up and you can leave as far as I understand then. Probably like 10k or so. Perhaps more if they did prem processing.
