Maintain GC application while switching employers?
I am approaching my 6th year on H-1B visa. I have an approved labor and pending I-140 with my current employer.
If I change my employer now, will I be able to get an H-1B extension after the 6-year H-1B expiration based on my approved labor?
At what point can I switch jobs AND be able to port my GC application to my new employer?
Thank you, appreciate the service.

Yes you should be able to get the H-1b extended. You can switch jobs and port once your I-485 Has been pending over 180 days, and the new job is in the same or similar job classification. |

I'm not clear on this. My question is, can I switch jobs safely even with my I-140 pending? |

yes, as long as it is approvable. Does the company have the ability to pay the wage? |
