My and my wife's I-485 got APPROVED yesterday.
I had used AC21 before I-140 was approved.

---------------------------------------------------------
I applied my I-140 and I-485 concurrently in Oct 2002 through Company A.
I got an RFE for my I-140 in June 2003(asking for experience letter). Replied to this RFE in July 2003.

Company A laid me off in May 2003(> 180 days after I-485 RD)
I joined company B(startup) in May 2003. I then joined company C(stable company) in Sep 2003.

I got an RFE for my I-485 in March 2004(usual EVL, 3 yrs tax returns, W-2's etc). Lawyer replied to this RFE on May 4th, 2004 stating that I will be using AC21 portability and another letter stating my intent to no longer work for company A and continue full time employment with company C.

I worked for companies B & C(current) using EAD.

What date you mention in your AC-21 letter?

enjoys1,

What date did you mention as start date in your AC-21 letter? Is you 140 approved before you join Company C?

Thanks

Here is the time line of events:

I-485 RFE generated on March 13th, 2004.
I-140 Approval date is April 13th, 2004
I-485 RFE response sent on May 4th, 2004.
I-485 Approval date is June 16th, 2004.

I-485 RFE response included I-140 approval notice.
In the EVL template that my lawyer sent me the start date was Sep 2003.
This EVL was included in the I-485 RFE response.
