The writing is all over the place that - you could be questions on it during citizenship process.

I am not speaking from experience but I have read that this is risky. I think if you're going to do this and you want to be safe you would have to move to a position that has a similar job code so that is no different if you left using job portability with your I-485 is pending for 6+ months before a gc with an I-485j.

Legally yes.

But more ppl ego do it screw prospects for ppl with genuine interest in staying with big4.

Dog eat dog world out there!

Cognizant Experience - Last Wednesday, My HR round was completed and they said your offer letter will be released by next day(they asked me to fill cdf-2 form) then I kept waiting and waiting for the offer letter. After multiple email chain and all, HR called me to say, we cannot move with your candidature as your experience is below 3 years. I said I already informed this to you before the interview, she said yes but we can not proceed. Very unprofessional. CCTC: 5.5, YOE: 2.5, Tech: Java
