1. I work for an MNC, who filed my GC in EB1C, I-140 approved 2 years back, I-485 filed almost 2 years back, completed I-485 interview an year back, also holds a renewed EAD/AP card. My company laid off me recently, so my L1-A will soon get invalid. I got an offer from another company in similar role and responsibilities (SOC code: 113021), so planning to move using AC21 portability.

4. AC21 is good. Even if they cancel your I-140 it is not going to be a problem. Once I-140 is approved and it stayed pending for 180 days you are covered from every possible angle. In your case you are protected from every possible angle, even if the employer revokes the I-140. FAQ in detail...
