Question Portability of PD and I-140 with job loss

I am on H1-B and have LC and I-140 done. Given the economic conditions, my job could be at risk. Can I port over my LC and I-140 with existing PD to new employer? If so, how?

Default Portability only possible after 485 filed

Unfortunately, there is no permanent residence portability allowed until the Adjustment of status (I-485) has been filed and is pending for 180 days. If you lose your job before then, you need to start the permanent process from scratch with the new employer I'm sorry to say.

can we get h1b extention beyond 6th year if I 140 is approved with previous employer but revoked because of job termination.
