I got my GC mid July and i'm about to get an offer to start at Google. It's not been 6 months, so how risky is it to move?

Come on over. 6 months is just a guideline, it’s not mandatory. You should be fine.

It’s not even a guideline. It’s an online rumor.

Not risky. Just change jobs, you can always say the new job was more aligned with your skills and the durection and work you want to focus on.

Not risky

I moved 2 months after getting GC

Not risky. Enjoy your time at Google!

You will be fine dude - there is no explicit rule saying that. Once the card is produced and sent to you, you can do whatever you want.

I thought you can technically move after you I-485 has been pending more than 180 days?

When did you file?

October 2024 then got my GC in July 2025
