My I-485 has been pending for over 9 months now. My I-140 was recently approved. Can I switch employers under the portability provisions? Are there any risks involved?

Someone told me that I should wait for six months after I-140 approval. Is this true?
 
AC-21, i.e. portability should be available to you if your i485 has been pending for 180 days AND if 140 has been approved. There is no restriction on the number of days since 140 approval.
 
registrationid is correct about the info

The only risks will be involved if you join another employer with a different job description.
 
I consulted a lawyer and he suggested that I wait for 6 months after my I-140 has been approved. He is taking this approach because the guidelines issued by USCIS are still not very clear.

Also, is there any possibility that my current employer can revoke my approved I-140?
