After receiving Green Card (employer sponsored), is there a minimum period that one needs to work with the sponsoring employer before switching? Asking from a legal/USICS’s point of view, not ethically.

How did your lives change after getting the GC? The wait to get the GC seems forever. And ya how did you guys celebrate: )

A sense of relief more than anything else..

6 months is often quoted as a safe bet for citizenship interview.

As I said, it is a safe bet. Not based on my own personal experience. Those interviews are not predictable.

I just started a new job. I left my previous job because the environment wasn’t healthy and almost all of my colleagues left. The team at my new job is nice but the nature of the work doesn’t align with my interests/is not as unexpected and I’m struggling to stay motivated. I realize I made a poor decision. How bad would it be to quit after only 2-4 weeks? Or, instead of quitting should I ask if I can move internally?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
