Eb4: Change of employers while I-485 is pending
Can we change employers while I-485 is pending for eb4 religious workers? I know there’s I-485j form for other employment bases categories if they change employers after 180days but not sure for eb4. Now that the things changed coz of retrogression, I would like to know if there’s any option for changing employers.

I don't think the AC-21 benefits apply to the EB-4 category. I am thinking the only way is to have the new employer file the I-360. I could be wrong and you might want to check in with a lawyer.
Another option could be to go through EB-3, filing a labor and perm certification.

But if we file new i-360, do we lose the priority date?

once you changed your employer, your 485 application will be canceled. 485jform doesn't adapt for eb4
