Wow thats ridiculous. Atleast EY is better that way. They dont charge anything for GC

No charges from EY

Why do you need to pay back? Was it written in your offer letter? If you spend some x years after GC has been initiated then isnt that what is required? I'm assuming that X is 2 years

Yep we had to sign a repayment agreement in order for the firm to start the green card process

About 15-25k from what I was told

I just got an email based on changes to pay back. I think it was $2.5k for i140 and a similar amount i485 at PwC

You need to send them a response to accept the terms. Title: action required - updated permanent residence repayment agreement. Do note that you have to pay extra for dependents

Did they tell you how much you have to pay?

His experience? It’s a firm policy. Everyone got that email. it is a standard number now as per the policy change email. Please reread what he said and stop making random assumptions
