If I self-sponsor for a green card through the EB1(a) category, might the USCIS issue an RFE to my current employer, or otherwise check with my current employer and disclose that I filed this petition?

Answer

Ordinarily, if a foreign national files an EB1(a) petition on their own behalf, the USCIS will not contact one’s existing employer in relation to the petition. (30.Dec.2025)
