AC21 when I140 is not approved

There is a lot of mention about AC21 rule. Can you please clarify
whether AC21 holds good in the following scenario:

I140/485/EAD/AP applied in april 1st week.
I140 is going to take atleast 9 - 12 months.

As per AC21, if 180 days has past since the filing of 485, one
can change jobs, but the confusion is regarding I140.

does the 180day rule apply only when I140 is approved or
is 180day rule independent of I140 approval?

any info would be of great help,
thanks,
VG
 
Search the posts by BitterMan, he posted a very comprehensive reply to this question a couple of days ago!

To summarize, you cannot apply AC 21 unless I140 is approved!

Good luck!
