Q.

Re-org/lay off after GC

In March 2006 I started to work for company B that sponsored my GC.

B did consulting services for company A, that had the same owner. (Both < 20 empl.)

At the time of my appl. both companies were doing well, but later econ. problems occured. After my GC was approved 12 June 2007, they asked me to move to company A to be able to consolidate costs. I did from July 1, 2007. My tasks, work location and pay remained the same.

In August a big client laid of 900 people, and that caused cancelation and delay of contracts. They told me that they could not keep me past Oct. I left in mid Sept, 3 months after my GC was appr. for a new job.

My intention was to stay with company B (or A), but it was not possible.

Do you think this will cause issues when I apply for citizenship in 2012?
