Question details
I am a British citizen with Canadian permenant residency. The US office of my company (I work out of the canadian office) wants me to move to the USA to work on a L1. My wife (canadian) and 2 children (canadian/british) would move with me.I am concerned about 2 things, the first being what happens if I leave the company or get laid off? It's a huge issue since we would have uprooted a good life in canada. Secondly I am not completely sure about the company. Its a new employer and they seem to be pressuring me to make the move. I am worried that they could simply lay me off whenever they want which would cause turmoil if we had to move back and start again.
I am not sure it is worth the risk, either. You have no right to continue to live in USA if the company fails or lays you off. You can negotiate a large severance package, but that is all the protection you can get.
Thanks to Rajiv and his team for their excellent work. I applied for GC in EB2, non RIR, in Nov'1999 and got the stamping in passport in Nov'2001. The team is very experienced and knowledgeable. They are prompt in filing all documents with DOL and INS in all the stages of processing. Rajiv and his team is very prompt in replying to all my email queries. I strongly recommend Rajiv for your GC processing.
