Changed my employer, any problem applying citizenship?

I worked for Client C through company A from 2002-2005 and got my greencard through company A. After a month I started my own company B and resign from company A but still working with client C (through my own company B) .

Would that be any problem in my citizenship process?
 
no ..as long as no 'unlawful' activity has been committed by you. I was in the same boat - left my 'GC' employer after taking 3 pay stubs after getting GC. No issues at all in the interview.
 
I don't think you will face any problems. My IO looked at the employment section for a moment and went ahead.
 
Good morning forum, let me 1st wish everyone Happy New Year, Good Health and Safe Holiday Season! Let 2010 make your immigration and all other dreams become true!

Now let me comment on the employment issue. This matter has been long debated in this form: on how long you should work for sponsoring company following GC approval in order to show a permanent intent which is the cornerstone of any employment related GC case. If it is not clear, I can elaborate on Permanent Intent .

Please see exchange including the response from Rajiv S. Khanna (Attorney and Host for this forum).

As you can see, a rule of thumb (not a statutory regulation), a safest approach is to work for sponsoring employer at least 6 month following obtaining PR status unless the employer itself initiated termination due to layoff, bankruptcy, etc.

I think your case is different as you voluntarily left your sponsoring employer.

Depending on your risk –acceptance level, you may forget all about this and assume USCIS will not ask..

However, the recent posting show that USCIS may ask http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=307844&highlight=employer

Also if during the preview of N-400 application, USCIS determines that GC case is in question (fraud, etc), USCIS may technically take LPR status away. Again, the likelihood is probably slim, but not impossible.
