There are lots of heated discussions going on in 'Life After GC' forum over the 'Intent' of staying with the sponsoring employer after getting the GC. Some times these discussions turn in to name calling and posting vulgar stuff against the other members.
I've seen one of your FAQs, it says as follows...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the indication of "permanency" while working with my employer after getting my GC?
The basic premise (or theory) behind permanent residence through offer of employment is that an employee is accepting a job on a "permanent" bases.
Normally, I would say working for one year or more with the same employer after getting your GC is PROBABLY enough indication of permanency. Less than 4-5 months is perhaps evidence to the contrary But REMEMBER, this is just my own guess. Technically speaking, the moment you decide that you will leave after a certain period of time, "permanent" intent is gone.
There may be considerable relaxation in this interpretation because in the year 2001 Congress has enacted a law that permits employees to leave an employer even while their I-485 is pending. We do not have the regulations or any detailed guidance on these issues. Therefore, it would still be a good idea to adhere to the above

In your opinion, is this still holds true? At least I can post your opinion and put an end to the discussion.
