Changing profession after receiving Employment Based Green Card
Question details
Can I change my profession after getting a Green Card? I received my GC in EB2 as an Accountant. Now, I see the salaries in the software/IT sector to be much higher.
FAQ Transcript
Sure, you can change your profession as long as you did not have a pre-conceived intention to do so before you got your green card. I cannot say that there is any particular time frame attached to it.

Just looking at the numbers is not enough. We need to look at the overall resume.
