I have replied my RFE 2 months back, did not hear anything ever since. My company is planing to outsource IT to another company so that i will become new company employee from october in the same location. I heared that once GC is approved it is better to stick with company at least for 6 months, what happens in my situation? any ideas?

WAC-02-089-XXXXX
Waiting for approval
 
The only thing you have to worry about is intent. And since technically you would have continued with the current company if they had not outsourced the IT, you had intent to work. Which is all that matters. I wouldn't worry if I were you!
 
Don't worry much about that. The rule applies if you change employer on your choice. If it is because something that is totally out of your control you are good, I guess.
 
Have not followed this discussion in other threads. But how does BCIS find out if you switched jobs - Is it only in the case that the filing company lodges a complaint with them? Or during citizenship filing - they ask for all ur paychecks over the many years ?
 
Filing company lodging a complain is probably the number 1 reason, no clue what the process is for citizenship, it is a far far away thing. But I can imagine that it should be easy to track that down via w2's etc.

This bit of information is something that is legacy INS, and I have heard it ever since I have gotten involved in this process. Haven't come across any claims that testify for/against it. So take it at face value.

About Naturalization, check out the forums on Citizenship and "After the Greencard". Here is a brief summary of my current understanding. Earlier there was a 2 year rule to prove intent, it was subsequently repealed so there is no rule or guideline to define intent to stick to the company. Prevailing opinion is that 6 months is reasonable. While the officer can ask you questions on any topic during interview for naturalization, The form N-400 asks for a 5 year employment, education history. While this is for all applicants and not just EB-primary petitioners, folks have interpreted it to be partly, an evaluation of employment after GC. Sure there are lots of open questions - delayed application for Naturalization so that the first job change after GC doesn’t show up in list, change within same company, promotion etc., but that is the closest there is in official requirements for employment history with sponsoring employer.
Bottom line, stick with your sponsoring employer for 6 months for voluntary job changes. Layoffs, mergers, splits etc., at any time are “generally” not an issue.
