I don’t think so PWD/GC is for future employment. Many folks regularly receive annual salary increments while GC is in progress.

They can but it’s unlikely to get off cycle increase.

That's a lie. They can increase or decrease. Pwd is a minimum threshold, not a fixed one.

I had walked into a best collateral store and sold a few unused electronic items. I had to give my drivers license and finger prints.

It would be good if anyone can share their own experience. It would help alleviate my anxiety.
