Hi,
I lost job before 180 days passed after applying I-485.I still got green card 5 years ago. Its now time to decide if its safe to apply for my citizenship, i am willing to provide more details but I had to change my jobs and location in between too. Is it a risk for me to apply for citizenship because they will research my background and find out that my Green card was approved even before 180days passed (AC21 portability law) of submitting i-485
Thanks
Sam.

---------------Green Card can be approved before 180 days from I-485 filing reciept.many who file GC in EB1 get approved in 2-3 months.

Apply the US citizenship AFTER 5 years 2-3 months from your GC approval date (check the date on your Card) Citizenship application only ask employment info for past 5 years.
 
Thanks for the same.Will there be issue in interview where they will say that my Greencard is not valid because i lost job with sponsoringc ompany, within 3 montsh of submitting i-485? (180 days condition for AC-21 was not met?)
Thanks

If you lost job after few days after getting GC and the employer did not have job for you it is not your fault.
