I filed my I485 in Nov 2025 and got approved March 2026.
If I want to play it safe for citizenship can I leave my current job 6 months from filing I485, or does it need to be 6 months from getting approved?

If you have your GC YOU can leave the next day there is no limit but if you got only the i485 and EAD you will have to wait for 6 months before changing and then you can file a supplement J

This is absolute bs...again their is no such requirement or has any negative impact on your immigration record.
You can get a GC even on an offer even with out joining or working for a single day for an employer.
Also, best confirm with an immigration attorney their might nuance to your case which you can discuss.
But I can certainly say you can even work at MCD once you get your GC, I have confirmed this with my attorney my companies attorney as well.

That’s quick. Did you file yourself or your employer did? Also is there a rule that says you must stay at your employer for 6 months after citizenship?

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
