My wife was on H1b, did her i485 interview and got her EAD. Her priority date is current and her green card can be shipped anytime. Unfortunately, her employer has started some fraud investigation into a bunch of people, she got sucked into it and she could get fired. What happens to the green card if she gets fired and her visa has not been approved?

    Did she directly involve in the fraud?

    You can switch jobs after 180 days of I485 filing

      Thanks! She has not completed her 180 days since i485 application. The more specific question I guess is should she wait it out if green card is expected in 15 days and risk firing or would she be able to switch to another employer?

      Not 180 days from when the i485 was filed ? Not approved or anything like that

      That would be news to me
      Between i485 filing to approval I waited like 8 month ...

      And to be more specific it’s i140 (though in some cases with either premium processing / filing in parallel - timelines are very close)

  • Unless it’s not crime or threat to country, she should be fine

    What kind of fraud? Depends on that a lot.
