-------------------------Yes
B. If I do switch companies what if my current employer cancels my I140 will GC process get terminated ??
----------------------join new employer, get parmanent job offer letter with same/similar job duties and invoke AC21.
C. How will I know that the 140 EAC number I got from my employer belongs to me ?
----------- if you have I-140 filing reciept then your name is on reciept notice or I-140 approval notice. if you are sure that your I-140 is approved then you dont need copy of I-140 to invoke AC21 but you need I-485 filing reciept copy.
D. How long dose it take for AC21 approval. what will happen if my employer revokes 140 before AC21 is approved ?
-------------------AC21 filed with pending I-485 and I-485 will be approved according to PD. if employer revokes I-140 still you are eligible for AC21 if you invoke AC21 .
Really appricate your help in advance.
-----------
