Green Card Chaos: Employer Refuses to Drop H-1B

A green card holder is dealing with confusion after adjusting status through marriage to a US citizen. Despite becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident, the H-1B extension remains pending. This green card H-1B issue has created uncertainty around records and compliance.

Green card H-1B issue explained

Legal experts confirm that once you receive a green card, all non-immigrant statuses end automatically. The pending H-1B has no legal value anymore. In a green card H-1B issue, USCIS treats permanent residence as the final status.

Why employers refuse H-1B withdrawal

In this case, the employer refuses to withdraw the H-1B petition to avoid extra attorney fees. They expect USCIS to close it on its own. However, green card H-1B issue cases often stay open for months before USCIS acts.

Risks of keeping H-1B pending

USCIS usually denies the petition later, stating the person is already a permanent resident. Until then, dual records can trigger errors. For any green card H-1B issue, a formal withdrawal remains the cleanest solution.

The green card holder has been advised to keep employer records updated. Sharing a copy of the physical green card with HR is essential. Pushing the employer to file a withdrawal notice helps prevent future administrative problems.
