What will happen if I change jobs during my PERM Labor Certification process or during my immigration visa petition after PERM is approved?
Changing jobs will not affect your Labor Certification process if your LC sponsoring employer agrees to continue the PERM Labor Certification petition and immigration visa petition on your behalf on the condition that you are going to return to the sponsoring employer when you return to work. However, in the real world, most employers will withdraw or discontinue the immigration process if you leave the company. Example: Li works for Company H and Company H files a PERM Labor Certification for Li. Li found another attractive position at Company M at a location that is closer to his family. He negotiated with Company H that he is going to continue his green card process and Li will return to work for Company H when his green card is approved. In such a situation, Li may continue his green card process with Company H and his change of employer does not impact the green card process.
