I think the relevant rule is that if 140 is approved & 485 is pending & there is a layoff, you have 6 months to find another similar job. during this 6 month period you have legal status, after 6 months without job you may be out of status (based on info in this forum)
the other related rule is that if 140 is approved & 485 is pending for 6 months you are allowed to change jobs - needs to be a similar job though. (based on info in this forum).
