I am not sure if any one on this forum knows the answer to my question but I will give it a try any way:

A person is paroled into the US as a public interest parolee and later he applies for I-140/I-485 through his job for employment based green card. The
I-140 is approved by the INS and the I-485 is later withdrawed by the applicant due to a change of job. Does he
lose his parolee status once he files the I-485?

I need some advice on this matter urgently and would appreciate any input.

thanks.
 
Till the case is not really adjudicated, One's status is the same what it was before while applying for I485 and in the scenario you described, it will be of parolee status till the date stamped in the Advance Parole.
 
thanks for your reply. But I still have my doubt. In the case of a H1 visa holder. Once he turned in I485, his status changes from H1 to I485 adjustee and loses his H1 status, right? This is the impression I got from read all the posts in this forum. I assume it's the same with parolee status but I am not sure about it. Any expert advice is welcome.

Regards.

Not unless he does something in violation of that H-1 status.
 
H1 status will be lost once your I485 gets approved not when you have filled.
And as Real Canadian said that it will go if you violate any H1-Law.

If you go through this forum and Murthy.com, you will lots of lots of post where this issue is discussed. For your information, you can also Renew your H1 even if you have used the Advance Parole provided if you have not used all the 6 years on H1.
