Changing jobs after filing for I-485

[venkatdabri]

Hello,
I am aware that I can change jobs 6 months after filing for my I-485 without refiling for labor certification. My lawyer had filed for my I-485 on Nov 1st, 2020. So I believe I will be good to submit my resignation on 1st May 2020. However, I haven't as of yet received my receipt. I was wondering am I safe 6 months after date of filing that is Nov 1st, 2020 or 6 months since I receive my receipt?

So I haven't received my receipt as of yet even though I have filed in on Nov 1st, 2020. Does that mean that my job change can only happen in August if I receive my receipt in February or can I still change in May since the filing was done in Nov?

So the question is what would that be? Would that be Nov 1st, 2020 when my papers reached the USCIS office or say a future date (say Feb 1st,2021) that the receipt will actually be issued?
