OK, so there are a lot of posts on here about people changing jobs once 180 days from their I-485 application dates have passed/they've got their AC21. But I was talking to a friend of mine who just did his citizenship interview and he was saying that it is better to wait at least two years after the gc is approved before changing. Otherwise USCIS could allege that you fraudulently obtained the gc as you never intended to work for that company permanently.
So it's got me confused as to the best thing to do. I don't want to jeopardize my citizenship application just because I want to change employers. I've stuck my job out for 6.5 years at this point (my company wouldn't apply for the I-140 until after we did my first 3-year H1B renewal), so I guess I can stick it out for longer if it's important to stay. But then so many of you guys seem to switch jobs quickly.
Does anyone know what is advisable? Does staying in your job really matter?
Thanks!
