That is correct. That was one of the reasons why I didn't consider b-school earlier. I got mine two years ago.

Remember that a green card obtained through the labor certification process is a promise from you and the company to USCIS that you intend to work full time in that job after you adjust status (ie get your green card).
Be careful about getting your card and quitting shortly thereafter - either to another company or even to school. At least be aware of the potential risks. Applying to fulltime MBA programs while adjusting status via labor cert could have implications as well regarding your actual "intent".
How would it come up? Your company complains to USCIS when you bolt. Or, when you apply to naturalize and they ask you how long you worked at Company X or see on your tax returns that you did not appear to work there very long. Or when you renew your green card.
There is no hard and fast rule that I am aware of, but the conventional wisdom appears to be ... stay with sponsoring company at least 6 months after you get your green card.
Just throwing out food for thought. I'd recommend consulting with a reputable immigration attorney.
