I just got my green card through an EB1A petition based on my artistic abilities, but since filing for my green card I’ve been working in a different field. Do I have to return to working in the arts now?

Answer

Since your green card was granted based on your future work in the arts, the USCIS generally expects you to work in that field for a reasonable time after getting your green card. (17.Sep.2025)
