How soon after one gets your green card is it safe to leave one’s job? I’ve been hearing some people say wait for a few months to not get into trouble. Hearing mixed feedback… any lawyers here?

Could you share any details on your timelines especially for I485

Did you get it quickly via EB1C? If so, I would definitely wait ~6 months to be on the safe side. You never know what the administration will look like in 5 years.

Yes quite quickly via EB1C

I’ve heard about 3-6 months as a safe timeframe

I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!
