My Employment based petition just got approved (after many years of waiting), but I no longer work for the company. will this create a problem in the future? (Since quitting the job, I re-filed for marriage based Green Card). Please advice!
 
Okay, so did you abandoned the employment based GC petition and adopted the family based instead? In that case you are good. Please note that all employment based GCs are for future employment. it all depends on your current situation.
 
not really. I worked with that company for 5 years, waiting for my GC based on my job I had at the time. Later (just a couple of months ago), I moved, submitted my change of address, got married and filed for a Second I-485, this time marriage based. I am technically actually still employed with that company, but swiched to part time and did't work any hours, hence didn't get paid in the last couple of months. My Employment based I-485 has been transferred to the new DO where I live now (since I filed change of address) and now they got it at the new DO and approved it. My marriage based is at it's early stages and is still pending.
 
withdraw the marriage based one since your status is already adjusted now.
work for the company that filed the GC for a few months (3?) if you can. Not realy mandatory, but this might come up when you file for citizenship

That's the issue. I no longer work there (still on the books, but didn't work any hours for the last several months). In fact, I am starting a new job Monday. Do you think it will cause a problem later?

may not be that big an issue; but if no one else on this forum responds, do check with a lawyer whether this matters when you go for naturalization (citizenship)
