Answer
Yes, but with conditions:
- Before I-485 filed: Must restart Green Card process with new employer
- After I-485 pending 180+ days: Can use AC21 portability to change employers
- New job must be in same or similar occupation
- Priority date may be preserved
AC21 allows: Job change if I-140 approved and I-485 pending 180+ days, and new job is same/similar occupation.
