Maintain 35hrs per week
I’m working as a sushi chef at my sponsor restaurant for over a year now. I know that I have to maintain at least 35hrs per week to consider as full-time employee but due to business slowdown, my hour is not really consistent. Sometimes I have over 40hrs for one week but the other week I only have 30-34hrs. Since I work at a restaurant, I was schedule for 35 hrs most of the time but I always finished cleaning and left early so I ended up having only 34hrs. Is it gonna be a problem? my employee status is always full-time on the system tho.

There’s no problem. you can work part time for now if you’d like or only work after green card approved if sponsor agrees

I changed after 1 year and half and started working part time with my sponsor since then. I've been working for 2 and a half years now.

@PD: Oct 2021 I thought we need to work for the sponsor until we receive green card?
Give me my GREEN CARD Aug 30, 2025
It’s all good. I used to work full time at the beginning and then slow season started and I was only given 12-15 hours per week during slow season . I have been working with same sponsor since 2 years . As long as your sponsor are okay there won’t be any problem .

oh I’m a little scared since my lawyer keeps reminding me that I need to work for at least 35hrs per week 😅

btw, it doesn’t show my PD on any forms I received from USCIS but I’m pretty sure my PD is Jan 2022. is everyone in the same situation?
