Porting from EB-3 to EB-2 while on AOS

Currently my I485 is pending in EB-3 category.

I was thinking if it is possible to change jobs using AC-21. Then at the new job apply for fresh labor + I-140 in EB-2. Once they are approved attach it to the current I-485.
Will this move my application from EB-3 to EB-2 category with the older priority date?

That should switch you to EB2; just be careful that your new job really qualifies under EB2.
 
Do you really have to change jobs? I thought you can start new I-140 and do the transfer once your I-140 gets approved. I may be wrong, please correct me as I plan to do the same down the road.
