I am applying for the citizenship. After that, I am planning to move to broad for 3 years or so. If my family moves first while I stay until I get the citizenship, would it negatively affect my application result? I read somewhere that if the officer believes that you don't plan to stay in US, he/she may not approve the application. Is that true?

and how would the officer know you do not plan to stay in US?

If I quit my job now and he asks me if I have a job...
If my family (and even I) have moved abroad and he asks me where is my family...

Once you are a citizen, you can leave and never come back to the US. There used to be a law that if you moved out of the US in the first year of becoming a citizen, they could withdraw the granting of citizenship, but that was repealed in 1994.

1. I know that once I am a citizen, I can move out the country as long as I want.
2. I have been a PR for 5 years (09/2005 is my 5 year mark) and I total fulfill all the requirements - never out of US for more than 4 weeks in total each year. So does it mean that even if I move now and only come back for interview and oath, it should not affect my application?
