There's a lot of misinformation about this but there's really no waiting period and really hasn't been since AC21.

  Ah nice. Is there anything else I have to do? I want to be self-employed ASAP I don't have to stay in exactly same profession, right?

    You would need to continue to work in the same field, although this is very broadly defined and generally just not an issue, and although you can port your green card application to your own company, USCIS will want to make sure that this company is real and doing business.

      Are you sure this is the case AFTER I received the actual greencard? I thought I wouldn't even have to work technically (which of course I plan to do) I understand this is the case while i485 is pending.

      Not after receiving your green card. After applying for 485.

        Correct.
