Did you self-sponsor your EB1? If yes you can change jobs anytime. If not, you can still change jobs anytime and your wife will still get her GC, but you may have problems with getting citizenship.

Read this poster's experience at the citizenship interview: http://immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1675278&postcount=45

He eventually got through after providing documentation to show why he left so soon, but as you can see he had to dig himself out of a hole. After seeing a growing trend of people leaving their jobs soon, USCIS may get more strict about it by the time you are eligible for citizenship. There is no hard and fast rule yet, but 6 months seems to be the amount of time stated by most attorneys as being "safe".
