Employee and Employer Commitments for Participation in the EB-3 Unskilled Program

Employee Commitments
  1. By entering into this agreement, you commit to commence employment with the sponsoring employer continuously, with a targeted start within 60 days of receiving work authorization. Your commitment extends to engaging in full-time employment with the sponsoring employer for a minimum duration of 12 months.
  2. In the event of your failure to initiate employment or non-compliance with job responsibilities in good faith, the sponsoring employer owns the right to withdraw immigration sponsorship. Moreover, the employer retains the option to report any such non-compliance to the U.S. government, potentially leading to the denial or revocation of your green card.
  3. Your flexibility is essential, as you agree to work any shifts required by the sponsoring employer, which may include weekends, days, or nights. Refusal to adhere to assigned shifts may result in termination. Any unforeseen scheduling concerns or significant challenges, such as health issues, should be promptly communicated to Pine Visa's Client Services Team. While assistance may be offered in limited circumstances, the sponsoring employer retains the right to deny such requests.

Work History Disclosure for Pine Visa Green Card Application

Attention Adjustment of Status Applicants:

To ensure a smooth and successful Green Card application process, Pine Visa requires a complete and accurate work history. This document clarifies the importance of transparency regarding unauthorized work and its potential impact on your case.

Unauthorized Work and INA 245(c)(2) Bar:

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Section 245(c)(2) bars individuals from adjusting status if they engage in unauthorized employment before filing. This applies to all prior and current entries into the United States.

Unauthorized Work Defined:

Simply put, any service or labor performed for any employer in the U.S. without proper authorization from the INA or USCIS constitutes unauthorized work. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Receiving payment (wages, salary, cash) for work
  • Accepting any form of compensation (food, housing, benefits)
  • Engaging in independent contracts or freelancing
  • Operating a business without proper licenses
Transparency is Key:

Honesty and accuracy are crucial throughout the Green Card process. Disclosing any unauthorized work allows Pine Visa and its partner law firms to assess potential immigration consequences and develop a strategic approach for your case.

Remember: Withholding such information can jeopardize your future Green Card application and lead to unnecessary complications.

We encourage you to provide a complete and accurate work history. Pine Visa is committed to guiding you through every step of the Green Card journey with a focus on compliance and successful outcomes.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
