I got the K1 Visa and decided to move to the U.S. in February 2020. I'm wondering if it is okay for me to keep my current job in my home country (I applied for the unpaid leave until the end of next year so I don't need to work after I move to the U.S.)?  I keep my job as I want to go back to my home country to work for a while after getting the green card.

 

I'm wondering if my current job affects the adjustment of status? Does anyone encounter similar situation? Thank you.

That is not the problematic part

But this one is. How much time is "a while", because on a green card, you are allowed to be out less than 1 year maximum. What is the purpose of this work? Is it to wrap things up at your company? Why can't you do it in the next 2 months?

I can still continue to enjoy the medical/travel benefits during the unpaid period, I therefore want to quit my job as late as I can. 

Won't you be covered by your spouse's insurance once you're married?

Strange way to start married life in the US. Regardless, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the conditions for keeping a green card, especially as they pertain to actual residence and ties in the US.
