Citizenship issue if I didn't work for the employer (EB3)

My wife and I got a GC thru a hospital in FL last year. She hasn't been able to work for the hospital since we arrived because she hasn't passed her RN license yet. Me being a nurse also is currently working for the hospital. However we were thinking of relocating to CA. We asked the HR what our options are, they said that we could leave the hospital without any issue with them since there was an intention to work (she took the exam 1 month after we arrived but didn't pass) but HR said we might get denied with USCIS when we apply for citizenship or worse they could revoke our permanent resident visa because my wife never served the petitioner. How true is this?

*Additional info. Back during the filing of the I-140 we weren't married yet and both of us had our individual applications for VISA. The immigration lawyer previously said that since my wife's priority date is earlier than mine that it would be better to be processed as her dependent. Since I have my RN license, upon arrival here in the US I started to work right away with the said hospital. It's been a year since I started.

Employers that sponsor a green card usually require to sign a contract that obligates an employee to work for them for a certain number of years upon receiving the green card. I heard from someone that many foreign nurses who had used the employment program in the past were "tricked" by the hospitals as they couldn't leave for a better opportunity when they wanted.

What does your contract with the FL hospital state?

Can you sponsor someone for a job that they are not qualified to do?
