Hello,
I quit my sponsoring employer and joined the client a month after my GC got approved (date of approval 8/02). I had been working at the client site as a contractor through my sponsoring employer and was pressured by the client to join them once my GC got approved. (Things were pretty bad then, if I had not joined the client as a full-time employee, my contract would have been terminated and that might have caused my employer to lay me off! In retrospect, that would've been a better option)
My sponsoring employer didn't mind my leaving them (I think originally the terms of contract between sponsoring employer and the client included an option to hire me (contract to hire)) There was no change in job responsibilities (title may have been slightly different).
Now I am considering applying for citizenship and would like your opinions how my situation would be considered by the interviewing officer. Other than offer letters, W2/tax-return I don't have any other documentation specifically for this. Unfortunately, the sponsoring employer has now been bought by a big company and many of my contacts have moved out. I am not sure
if I can obtain any documents (such as letter of termination) from them.
Thanks.
