i140 revoke

  Congratulations on having gone through a very quick procedure from the date of I-140 approval to obtaining your green card. It appears that an employer is allowed to revoke an I-140 petition for a period of six months after approval. You may wish to stay with the employer until at least that period of time has elapsed. You should also be aware that leaving the employer as soon as you receive your green card may cause revocation of the card as an alien immigrating through an employer must intend to stay with the employer after obtaining the card. Although there is no set rule, our general advice is that aliens should remain with the sponsoring employer for at least six months after obtaining permanent residence.
