How Long Do I Have To Stay At The Job That Sponsored My Visa?
What Does it Mean if My Position is Permanent?
When your employer sponsors you for a visa, they must commit to offering you a permanent position. This does not actually mean that they are offering you a life-long job. Rather, it means that they are asking you to move to the United States in good faith for a position that is meant to last indefinitely. Otherwise, they would be wasting your time as well as that of USCIS by bringing you over for a temporary position that there is likely a far less burdensome way to fill. Likewise, in order to accept the job offer and act on the visa in good faith you must also commit to accepting the job indefinitely. This means that when you accept the job you have no plans or expectations of leaving it.
