Hi Everyone, I already have a green card through marriage. I’m head of product at a startup in London and thinking about moving to the US in 1-2 years. I heard from some people that having green card in hand will make it very easy for me to find a job in product. I have 10+ years experience and worked in several small-mid size startups in Europe. What would be my chances to find something in SF, NY, Seattle are with a compensation above 200k+?
If you can work in the us and have experience in reasonable tech companies, getting an offer that like that should be expected.
Thanks. We’re visiting the US every 3-4 months. There hasn’t been any problems at the customs so far.
* A green card becomes invalid after 1 year outside the US, not 6 months. * It's true that CBP can accuse you of having abandoned your permanent residence if you spend too much time outside the US, but as long as your green card is still valid (see point above) they cannot deny you entry on that basis. They must give you the option of returning to the US and having your case heard by an immigration judge who will determine whether you have abandoned your residence. * Having a re-entry permit does allow you to stay outside the US for up to 2 years, but it doesn't guarantee that you won't be accused of having abandoned your status when you return.
