Default Layoff after porting EB3->EB2

Dear friends,
I did not receive any answer to this so asking it again, please help as I am really lost here.
I am facing a lyoff from the consulting company as my contract comes to an end. This company I filed an EB2 case with with ported PD of 2004. I got EB2 I140 approved on May of this year, and waiting on I485 approval after interfiling.

Here's my case:

EB3 Ind with PD May 04. Applied I485 on July 07 with Company A.

Applied EB2 Perm with Company B (consulting) on Sept 2011, I140 cleared on May 2012 with May 04 PD, and interfiled in June 2012, and now waiting for EB2 Ind dates to be available.

Now there is a sudden issue with Company B and end client, and they are ending the contract.

My question is
* Can I change my job safely to a new employer either on H1B or EAD, as GC approval seems to be close,
* Can I legally change the job now, as my I485 is pending for more than 180 days but new EB2 I140 is pending for less days than that.
* If I get laid off from sponsoring company, before GC approval does it mean that green card process is in jeopardy.
* If I change Company B to Company C on EAD, but let the client stay the same, can I justify 'same or similar' job criteria to USCIS, what document do I need to take care for naturalization and avoid fraud verdict on it.

Thanks all for the response, your help wud mean much to me.

If you did not receive any reply, maybe it's because nobody is able to give you a definite answer, or those who know something haven't been checking the website. Since your case is so urgent, it would be better if you consult with a good lawyer by paying some money.
