Austin, TX asked in Contracts, Employment Law and Immigration Law for Texas

Q: How long is my wife obligated to fulfill her contractual obligations w/ her employer who didn't show her their contract?

My wife acquired her EB2-visa through her employer who asked her to sign only some pages of the contract that did not show her contract rate and their contract's duration. She started working for her employer in May 2016. She got her green card in Oct 2016 that is valid for 10-yrs. It is now Jun 2017.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: As far as immigration is concerned, your wife can leave her employment at any time without any effect on her green card. Whatever contract she may have signed is only a private obligation between her and her employer and has no effect on immigration. She should ask her employer for a complete copy of the contract so she will know exactly what she signed.
