More details to this question:
Hello Everyone! So I have my PERM LC approved by Employer A for EB3 unskilled with a PD of Aug 2023. My current Employer B have filed my EB-3 PERM in Aug 2024. Now I am I am thinking to file I-140 with the (Employer A) unskilled perm to retain my PD. Can I file I-140 with the unskilled perm just to retain the PD and later on file the I-140 & I-485 with Employer B EB 3 Skilled category once its gets approved? Anyone who has done it personally or has experience in same situation. Any response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

Besides the question of having employer A go along with you when you are no longer employed by A, kindly note that your proposed move may encounter a later difficulty with USCIS if it questions the rationale behind an employer further sponsoring where you have gone your separate ways. Among the grounds for which I-140 petition approvals can be revoked are fraud and misrepresentation. You may wish to think this over before going in this direction.
