I work at EY and they are sponsoring my green card. I have worked there around 5 years and if I do get the green card soon, can I leave right away or will I have to wait X amount of months/years?

When I got my GC through EY fives years ago, I didn’t sign any contracts binding me to the company. Egan lawyers confirmed that if I wanted to leave, I could (but I didn’t). Not sure if anything has changed since.

I’ve heard that you need to wait for 3-12 months but no idea if this is different for someone with 5 years of experience

like

I hope is 3 months! I can’t do 12 more months in public accounting.

Thanks!

why did you have to wait 5 years? I thought the policy was to have GC sponsor in 2 years of service

Not is usually 5 specially if you have H1 B visa which they can give it to you for 6 years

The change to 2 years is recent.

6 months is appropriate.

Source - EY colleagues and myself sort of

I’m not sure - but the people I mentioned have worked in EY for over 5 years too... I have been in EY for close to 9 years and decided to wait at least 6 months to leave. But I’m risk averse.
