Employer threatens to take away my GC

I was about to use AC21 since it had been more than 180 days after filing I-485. Surprisingly, my GC was approved just a few days after the 181th days and now it looked like I quitted shortly after receiving my GC and the employer threatened to take away my GC. I know I should be “protected” by AC21, but I’m still worried if they can do any harm to my GC? Also, the dependents' cases are still pending. What will happen to their cases?

And for many reasons, we decide to travel abroad for a few weeks before I join the new company. Is it going to cause any problem especially for entering U.S.?

Should I seek some attorney's advice now? (I really don't want to change my attorney but she works for my company as well and I guess there will be some conflicts :()
 
AC21 does not protect "intent" part.
Employer can report to USCIS claiming you did not have intent to work for the sponser, but unless UCSIS decides to investigate, it will not affect your GC.

Thank you for the clarification. I just wonder how do you argue/prove the "intent" part :confused:

I did not intend to leave my employer when I-485 was filed.
i.e. I didn't look for opportunities until someone approached me after ~5 months of I-485 filing.
 
I think even though employer complains, CIS probably does not have time to investigate individual cases unless it's really serious and obvious cases.

My attorney told me that according to US laws, you are innocent unless they can prove otherwise. So it's not YOU to prove; it's your employer to prove. Just tell your employer: "Go Fu*& Yourself."
