I have an approved 140 with the 485 filed early august. My priority date is current, but I hear the process can still take anywhere between 9-19 months. Is it possible to switch employers before my 485 is approved? Will the new employer have to file the 485 again or just perm and i140?

Yes, 6 months after the I-485 is received and your new employer has to submit a I-485J.

So do you recommend just wait till i485 is approved, get tne green card and then switch?
