Is there any negative effect for citizenship if one changes job just within 1 month of I485 approval

There is no clearly mandated/stipulated time by the INS, so use your own discretion. I have spoken to friends who recently got citizenship and they were not enquired about their job changes etc.
This is the link to a same thread going around:
CBEGC "Attn: GC holders/Future GC holders. Do you aware of this real issue?" 6/11/02 3:53pm

The general requirements for administrative naturalization include:
a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;
residence in a particular INS District prior to filing; an ability to read, write and speak English;
a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government; good moral character;
attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and, favorable disposition toward the United States.
All naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment, and favorable disposition. The other naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of U.S. citizens. Applicants should review the following materials and carefully read the N-400 application instructions before applying.
there is no mention of continous employment

What if you join the client ?
and the employer does not object. Is this some way better then leaving the employer and client?

There has never been a time frame
It is the intention of employment with the employer if they sponsor the GC. Well, you cannot obviously leave the day you hear the AVM. But, you can send a letter to your employer saying you intend to work for them for a considerable time. This considerable time can be 1 day or 10 years. Under circumstances as yours, you have intention to work for the company but they want you to join the client. You can send a letter to your employer asking them permission to join the client. Make sure they reply in writing. Then you have proper documentation to leave. It will not affect anything. Well, please dont treat this as a legal point of view. If you want to confirm with a lawyer please do so.

sounds good.....thx.
I agree with Dont Care !
"without INS knowledge" we can Change our job immediately after approval but most people wait till six months but it creates problems while applying for Citizen ship , because according to INS and as per law not working on similar Job after approval is a fraud !! But if your Employer who filed your GC does not need your services any more then you are a free bird you can do any JOb any where !!in this case you are still willing to work for the same employer with the similar JOb but employer does not need you any more ...so its not your fault ..remember you should have all supporting documents to prove that you are still willing to work for the same employer but employer does not need your services any more !! lets take an example when employer filed your GC labor he agreed to pay 50K but after your i485 approval market situation was bad he was paying you only 40K ..in this situation you will have full
advantage to quit that employer and work for some one with different Job and you should prove when some one from INS question you !
in General every body change JOB/employer immediately after GC approval in that way they can take full advantage of GC ..who cares and who needs Citizen ship that comes into picture after 10 years or so but some people has different plans and different ideas !!
if you want Citizen ship you have to be careful at this time ! and now with AC21 law we have more flexibilty than before !!!

About 6 months is considered appropriate
This is the info. one of my friends got from a lawyer. You are assumed to have acted in bad faith if you quit your employer soon after you got the GC. It is a diffrent situation if your employer fires you...because getting layed off was not your choice.
