When you get your green card how long does your employer have to keep youÉ?

I have an approved I-140 as an EB-3 for an Electronics Engineering position. My priority date will come up some time next year and my lawyer will be filing my adjustment of status later this year.

I have heard cases of employers getting someone a green card for a great job with good pay. Then after a short time, laying them off and offering them a lesser position for less money.

Therefore, I would like to know if there is any specific length of time required by law they have to keep a person in the exact originally offered position.

    Employers are never obligated to keep anybody, unless they explicitly agree they will.

    If an employer is helping a person obtain a visa or other immigration status, that's the biggest favor one can ever ask, because it's hard enough to get a job. So, once you get your status, don't be surprised if you're fired or laid off, but at that point, you'd be free to stay in the country and seek employment anywhere, your skills sound pretty in demand, so don't worry too much.
