Question about proving financial capacity when already working at the sponsoring company
I have an EAD work permit and am already working at the sponsoring company. Since the company is small, I’m worried that if it can’t later demonstrate financial capacity, my employment-based case could be denied.
I’ve heard already working there is an advantage — I’d like to know exactly why that’s considered helpful for the employment-based case.
If you’re already working under an EAD and being paid at least the prevailing wage, this can serve as existing proof that the company already has the financial ability to pay you. So when filing the employment-based petition and green card application later, you may not need to submit separate financial sponsorship documentation for the company — and even if you do submit it and the company’s funds look insufficient, you can still argue that they’re already paying your wage as it stands.
