Hi,
I will be applying very soon for my GC.
I will be doing AOS.

In the I485 and the EAD form, it asks me for current employer.

I came to US on B1 visa, as I am starting a business, in addition to my family business in my home country.

For the I485 and the EAD form,
is it ok to say I am currently employed by my familys firm in my home country ?

Just wanting to make sure it doesnt raise any eyebrows ?

Wow thanks for the information.............

Are you working for your family business in the US? If yes, thats illegal in B1 status.

If not, then youre not really employed by them now. Youll need to stay in the US at least until you get Advance Parole (2-3 months), and you need to also be in the US for fingerprinting and the interview. Thats a lot longer than a vacation, so youre not currently employed by them and there is no need to list them as an employer.

Regarding the business youre starting (in the US?), thats also illegal in B1 status unless youre being a passive investor at this time.

What is the basis of your green card? Marriage to a US citizen? If not, you may have bigger problems.

My family business is not in the US. It is in my home country.
As far as starting a business in the US goes, it is just research and negotiations right now.
Am applying for a green card through a spouse.
