Thanks for the reply, but my question was more about what comes after the green card. Just to clarify, I too have green card. If you google online https://www.google.com/search?q=leave+company+after+green+card https://www.google.com/search?q=leave+company+after+green+ca... most people talk about the "6 months rule". Basically they're saying it's ok to leave immediately as long as you don't apply for citizenship. The problem arises when it's time for citizenship and they blame us for being a fraud. Were you aware of this?

Yes, I am aware of it. Peter has already clarified the issue above. What matters is the intent. One friend of mine switched jobs less than a month after obtaining his GC and he didn't run into any issue whatsoever. "No, you are not stuck at all. As long as your intent - and the intent of your employer - at the time that your green card application was filed was to work for the company in the sponsored position, you can leave at any time after getting your green card."
