My self-petitioned I-140 got approved, and my I-485 is still pending, may I leave my current job?

Extraordinary Ability, EB1, EB1 Green Card, EB1 Immigration,...
For self-petitioned NIW or EB1-EA application, the job change will not affect the pending I-485. The applicants enjoys a much broader flexibility due to the different nature of their petitions. The I-485 petition will not depend on which employer you work for during the process. But it does not mean that you can work on any job you like after the I-485 submitted. You need to prove and maintain the required qualifications for EB1-EA application.

What happens to my pending I-485 application if my priority date was no longer current?

JINGCHENG IMMIGRATION LAW
If you (and any dependent family members) filed I-485 applications while you had a current priority date, your applications will remain pending at the USCIS. This means that you will continue to be eligible for advance parole and employment authorization based on the pending I-485; however, USCIS will not be able to approve the I-485 until your priority date is current and a visa number is available.

Can we file the I-485, EAD & AP applications immediately without a copy of the I-140 receipt notice?

Greg Siskind's Blog: FAQ
In the event that my Change of status application is denied, will I be able to extend my H-4 status? (This is a fall-back option in the remote possibility that there will be problems with the I-485.) If I withdraw my application instead, will USCIS allow me to extend my H-4 status? This is of particular concern to me because I will be turning 21 soon and I would, in normal circumstances, not be considered a dependent. This is really very very bad news for me. I am a month or so away from my LC.

Question: Do I need the original approved I-140?

Answer : It is not necessary to have the original approved I-140 approval notice, nor, if pending, the original I-140 receipt notice. A copy is utilized in filing the I-485. Answer : It is helpful to submit though not necessary to submit with the I-485 every I-94 card you have had in the past. It is strongly advised, however, to have one's current I-94 card to show valid status in the U.S.

Is there any issue for getting further H1B extensions, as I-485 was rejected and no longer pending?

MurthyDotCom : Current 485
No. Because the I-485 is being rejected, rather than accepted and denied, the H1B extensions would remain available based upon the pending green card case. If one obtained the I-140 petition, then s/he is entitled to the 3-year H1B extension, based on the I-140 petition approval and the priority date no longer being current. The case would be filed as it would have been if this entire incident had not occurred.
